When you work with us, we help manage your production budget and promote your music while making the process of creating music more enjoyable, always keeping your vision on the forefront.

What an artist usually offers to secure a producer?
1. Repertoire and/or talent: Your music (number of songs, instrumentation, existing formats, etc). You may submit up to 3 songs - email the completed submission form (You may need to download Acrobat software) to info @studioexpresso.com
Important: please read our submission policy below before proceeding
2. Timeline: Delivery date
3. Recording Budget and Production Agreement: : We can help you put together a recording budget and a production agreement (if/when needed) once you settle on a producer and/or mixer/engineer.

Once the above information is secured, we schedule a pre-production session on your behalf, where you meet with the producer (on-line, phone or in-person) to discuss creative direction, repertoire, musicians, arrangements, etc.

We promise no one the proverbial "holy grail" or getting signed. However, most artists will benefit from the valuable introductions which happen organically when a producer has vested interest in your work. Also, we can promote your work when completed in expresso10 -- the monthly ezine where the new releases are reviewed and reach over 20,000 industry subscribers.
