Touring musician and producer helping artists turn ideas into fully developed songs and emotionally impactful records
Based between Los Angeles and Brooklyn, I’ve worked professionally as a musician, songwriter, and producer since 2014. Throughout my career I’ve collaborated with artists including The Strokes, Sombr, Shaboozey, Kim Petras, and other major-label and Grammy-nominated acts while touring internationally as a guitarist and music director.
That experience shapes the way I approach production. I bring a musician’s perspective to every project, focusing on strong songwriting, compelling arrangements, and emotional performance before technical perfection. My goal is to help you create a record that feels alive and connects.
Whether you’re starting with a voice memo, demo, lyric idea, or unfinished production, I’ll help develop the song, shape the arrangement, and build a production that reflects your artistic vision.
What I do:
• Song development and co-writing
• Full music production and arrangement
• Instrumentation (live and programmed)
• Vocal production and performance shaping
• Creative refinement of existing productions
• Mix-ready production delivery for your mix engineer
If you’re looking for a creative partner to help you develop songs into records with intention, feel, and identity, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Interview with Sal Suriano
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll focus on the details and give your project my absolute best.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Making music :)
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Thinking you have to spend a ton of money on gear to make things sound good.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Talk to me about what you want and we'll make your vision come to life, or I'll recommend someone who I think would do a great job.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I picked up the video game Guitar Hero when I was 14, and a year later I had to see if I could actually play guitar. Ever since then, I've learned as much as I can on my own and have also been really fortunate to have some great mentors along the way.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I keep it simple and I serve the song.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: New artists, they're the future of music.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Take breaks! It all sounds the same after a while if you don't.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop and Rock mostly, but I grew up listening to country and also played Singer-Songwriter music for a while. I'm down to work on anything.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Listening.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I spend most of my time playing guitar and doing live production for artists. That includes a lot of work in Ableton Live, midi programming, editing a lot of stems, and creating instruments and sounds that serve the artists vision for their live show.
