LX Xander on SoundBetter

Billboard-charting Music Producer based in LA. Worked with: Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Lil Xan, Snow Tha Product, Fetty Wap, ppcocaine, Guapdad4000, Chevy Woods (Taylor Gang), Tyla Yaweh, Riff Raff, Caskey, E40, Baby Goth, Madchild, BigKlit, Ayleks, Rick Ross, Icy Narco, Tootie Raww, Alien Ant Farm, KXNG Crooked (Crooked I), Royce Da 5'9 & more

Highly experienced working in the studio with all kinds of artists at different levels - also do a lot of remote work, sending files back and forth etc. I've made many great records without even having to meet the artist!

Super pragmatic & practical. I take pride in helping artists to 'find' their sound. Many producers/engineers fall into a habit of just pushing buttons - I don't believe this is the best process for creating hits. Where possible (and if the artist wants me to), I endeavour to take an ego-free role in the creative process, from contributing to songwriting/arrangement to coaching the artist on the mic to get the best possible vocal delivery from them.

Artist development is a big passion & specialty of mine! Even after the music part is complete, I want to make sure my artists are well educated on the branding & promotional aspects of running a successful release campaign and in some cases, I take an active role in pitching the record/artists to labels/managers etc. This is not guaranteed in every case, but even if I do not believe the project to be ready tor major pitching yet, I always look for opportunities for my clients in addition to providing industry standard production.

I’ve learned a lot working with Lx Xander for the first almost year of working together. He’s gotten me in places where I didn’t believe I’d be until years from now. I can personally trust him with helping me build a foundation for my career. And I highly recommend you trust him too.
