Ryan "Bars" Connelly on SoundBetter

Being a young producer and engineer gives me the advantage of knowing what is "in" and "hip" in today's music. Especially having worked with artists such as Jeremih and Poo Bear. I'm not afraid to make bold choices and do whatever it takes to take a record to the next level to really help it stand out.

My services range from starting to record a project from scratch, stepping into a project to add production to what you already have, or just mixing something that has already been recorded. I specialize in Pop and Hip Hop, but have a lot of experience in Rock, RnB, Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, Merengue, and Bachata.

Ryan "Bars" Connelly got his start as an engineer in Miami, where he attended SAE in 2011. He then went on to intern for Supa Dups, Lu Diaz, and Ben Billions. He has experience with artists such as Lil Durk, Jeremih, T-Pain, Poo Bear, Trina, Anthony Hamilton, Kodie Shane, Rittz, Maffio, Sir The Baptist, and more. He is now based out of Atlanta and works at Bravo Ocean Studios.

    Ryan is awesome! One of the dopest audio engineers I have met and he is super versatile. Any genre, any style, Ryan can get it done effectively and efficiently. If I could, I would give him more than 5 stars.
