Nicolas Stella

Music Producer & Composer

Nicolas Stella on SoundBetter

I'm an international producer, composer and songwriter. Coming up with Hiphop/Electronic beats, writing + recording songs for singers and bands is what interests me the most.

My education and experience allow me to compose anything from Jingles to Jazzy-HipHop beats to Pop/House/Indie-Rock songs.

No matter what kind of project you have, I will enhance it and make sure you're happy with the end result. I'm always interested in being part of new projects.

Interview with Nicolas Stella

  1. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  2. A: From the few I know, Darren Carikas. Very professional.

  3. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  4. A: Although my favourite way of making music has always been analog I tend to blend both Analog and Digital to complement each other.

  5. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  6. A: Bringing excitement, hope, enthusiasm or just a chill/mellow feeling to many audiences by creating music.

  7. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  8. A: That it's easy. Composition and music production is underrated, specially by fellow musicians. Many don't consider the sense of Rhythm nor the knowledge on Melody and Harmony one needs to have. Even less considered is the study of song structure.

  10. A: Grounded, always blending --both, Complexity and Minimalism

  22. A: First, the client and I pick out 2-3 references of what they want to achieve. Second, I come up with beats/lyrics/vocals and give them a couple of demos to choose from. Third, after trial and error I make sure the client is absolutely pleased with my job.
