Allan Keen on SoundBetter

Tell your authentic story and then bind it together with great music production. I can help you hone your lyrics and melodic hooks and/or produce a radio/streaming ready track for you. I love lyrics that tell a story, all great songs have great melody and hooks but it is the lyrics that people go back for... to the story that resonates with them.

I am good at nurturing talent and getting the best out of an artist's songs and their recordings. I bring a wealth of experience for you to tap into.

I am a professional songwriter with song plays on UK BBC Radio, local radio and some US college radio. In 2015, I co-wrote, recorded, mixed, produced and released Lady Nade's Debut album 'Hard To Forget'.

I have 30+ years experience as a music producer and recording engineer. I started my career as in house engineer and then Studio manager at Coach House Studios (the Bristol Sound). Artists that recorded there were Massive Attack (Blue Lines) Portishead (Dummy) Neneh Cherry (I've Got You Under My Skin), The Black Earth (The Feeling).
I later became a freelance producer and a live sound engineer in music venues and theatres as well as location sound for film. I have composed many instrumentals and incidental music syncs for videos.

Since 2013 my focus has been on professional music production and songwriting; I have been in demand as a music industry consultant and accreditation assessor for some of the best Music Production University courses in the UK.
I am the in-house recording engineer and producer at Old Byre Studio near Frome, Somerset, UK.

    Allan is an incredible engineer and producer. We are on the verge of releasing our debut album that Allan engineered and produced and to see how it's evolved under Allans stewardship has been amazing. We could not recommend him enough.
