Sean boyd
Proprietor // Producer // Vocal Coach
Sean Boyd is a lifetime performer and artisan musician/song-writer. Starting to play and sing when he was five, he has picked up many instruments along the way. A seasoned guitarist and banjo-picker, he also plays organ, bass, and percussion.
Throughout his career as a performing and recording artist, Sean worked with talented producers and meticulously detail oriented engineers (David Swanson, Rick Rowe, Bryce Goggin, Steve Burgh…) at legendary studios (Baby Monster, Powerplay, Chung King, Clinton, Bearsville...) -amassing technical and practical experience in the art of performance and the art of making a record.
One of Sean’s skills is vocal coaching. With a strong foundation in vocal technique, Sean guides singers to get their best performance. Even super talented singers benefit from working with someone with good ears, endless patience and a few tricks, someone like Sean.
“The style of music is irrelevant. If somebody cares enough to write a piece of music then it is my job to make certain we reveal the emotion of the piece through the recording process.”
David andersen
Audio Engineer // Studio Technician
David is a consummate recording engineer, who’s knowledge of the studio environment extends well beyond the perceived boundaries of the modern recording professional. David began his work as a second to legendary engineer Henry Hirsch (Lenny Kravitz) before moving to Los Angeles, where he served as the chief recording engineer for Sound City Studios and a senior technical engineer for the Village Recorder. David has been fortunate enough to find himself working in either an engineering or technical capacity with a who’s who list of recording artists, producers, labels and music tech companies.
Ever in the pursuit of unique sounds and, having used nearly every rare and desirable piece of analog recording equipment that one can imagine, David began to hone his technical design abilities and quickly gained recognition for his audio circuitry. As a result, much of his equipment is of his own personal design or has been heavily modified to meet his demanding specifications.
“Be open minded. There’s no single, absolute solution to any problem in the studio. I view a session as a series of unique challenges that must be overcome in order to capture the artist’s true vision.”
