I am a platinum selling LA-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Best known for my forward-thinking melodic approach and sound design, I've co-written numerous records with American pop-rock band OneRepublic. I've worked with many notable artists including U2, R3HAB, Lukas Graham, Peter Gabriel, and Switchfoot, to name a few.
Hello! My very favorite part of music making is collaboration. From pop, to indie, to electronic to hip/hop I can enter just about any phase of creating a record from the very beginning to the very end. I just love working with people and elevating their art!

I love his sound design. It is magical how everything comes together in his productions. His productions have a very rich, full sound and he will bring that high quality to your track. I have already made several tracks with him and will definitely do that again. He's not good, he's phenomenal.

Steve once again overdelivered on producing/mixing my track (he absolutely crushed our first tune), taking it from a rough vision to a polished gem, and easily managing all my nonsense along the way.
Without a doubt worth every penny and I'll certainly be working again with Steve in the future!
It obviously goes without saying given my above commentary, but if you're hesitating working with Steve, simply don't - he's an absolute gem.

If there were 6 stars, Steve would get 6. If there were 7 stars, Steve would get 7!! This guy loves and understands music and has all the technical skills and tools to make your track the best it can be. Will work with again. Next week, in fact!

Steve ALWAYS hits the mark with his tracks! No matter style or genre. He’s super versatile, up on modern trends and can dominate any sound, any project. Top it off with being a cool dude and easy to work with? Fly the W.
- check_circleVerified
We’re not done yet working together, but Steve’s drum programming and synth bass sounded so good preliminarily, that I asked if he would finish up the song, and he said yes. He’s easy to get along with and fun to collaborate with so far. He’s a friendly guy for having worked with Switchfoot, One Republic, and U2. He seems genuinely enthused to help out with producing my song. I’m looking forward to the finished result in a few more weeks.
- check_circleVerified
Steve has been patient and easy to work with on a song that he took to a whole other level. He knows the right parts at the right times and I look forward to working together again.

Steve was very easy to work with. He’s very talented and creative musician. Look forward to work on more songs.
- check_circleVerified
I sent Steve a song I had really doubted even trying to record, but he was genuine and encouraging with it...so I kinda handed it off to him after recording a vocal and piano part. He took the song to where I had once heard it in my head, but doubted it...long story short, this song (Love Will Let You Go - if you wanna look it up) became my favourite song on my new project...and I don't think I would of even gone through the process of recording it had it not been for his encouragement.

Steve is a BOSS. You rarely find someone with this much talent, who is also reliable and has such a GREAT attitude. Steve checks all the boxes TWICE. He’s mastered his production style and he’ll master your song!!! (literally and figuratively)

Steve is phenomenal at his production skills. He has a signature to his sound quality that's memorable. While working with Steve, I also received some amazing feedback/consulting ideas.

Interview with Steve Wilmot
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: People probably don't realize how heavily involved I am in the actual basic song. I'm a believer that a song needs to stand on its own with an acoustic guitar or piano before we press into more involved production.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My production space houses new and vintage preamps (API), vintage guitars, vintage drums, world percussion, tube compression, an 1/8" 8-channel Tascam tape machine, an expansive vinyl collection, and a world class microphone closet. Oh and there are plenty of posh candles and incense.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Denny White is a masterful writer, producer, and singer who I HIGHLY recommend! Alex Strahle is a superb guitarist who I hire for just about everything I work on.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I believe in a healthy balance of both! I love the warmth and character of analog, but I also love playing with the endless possibilities of digital.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: For years I was a rock drummer and bassist (must be a rhythm thing!) and I was pursuing my lifelong passion of writing and recording music. I was a studio engineer for years, constantly traveling and meeting new talented people. During that period I was constantly writing beats and instrumentals, and eventually someone really wanted them! Since that turning point I've had the privilege of writing and producing full time with amazing and iconic artists.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sidechain compress your vocal delays so they don't interfere with your vocal ;)
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I can bring just about anything to a song! I write, produce, perform many instruments, and I often sing bgv's. I love sound design, creative harmonic movement, and dynamics.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually get files from people and go immediately into the laboratory! I love to play with audio and begin to craft right away. I get quickly inspired, and I usually don't stop working until I have something I'm really proud of on day one.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I'm inspired by record producers who are great at every stage of a song's process from conception and writing, to producing and engineering, to mixing. Some amazing examples are Greg Wells, Danger Mouse, and Rick Rubin.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Quite often people come to me with an acoustic demo of a song and we mold the basic song itself into something truly special. Then I'll produce a track, add their vocals, add all of the special sauce, and mix/master it. I'm a one stop shop from beginning to end.
