Sal Suriano on SoundBetter

Hey, I'm Sal! Let's make a record! I produce records, tour with major-label and independent artists, and create playback sessions for live shows. I'm excited to help you realize your artistic vision and create something you'll want to share with the world. A few artists I've worked with: - The Strokes - Kim Petras - Jake Owen - The Avalanches

Currently based in Los Angeles, CA, I’ve worked as a professional musician since 2014. In that time, I’ve worked with Grammy-nominated artists, toured extensively, and played venues worldwide.

I'd love to help you bring your music to life. Here's an outline of what working with me will look like:
- We'll review your ideas for the track, what's inspiring you, and your artistic vision for the music.
- We'll collaborate to build out the track. I have every piece of gear we need to create a fully realized production.
- I'll tune the vocals and make any adjustments you like to the track.
- I'll mix and master the track to get it ready for release, or I'll send you the stems for mixing and mastering if you have another engineer you'd like to work with.

After we finalize the song, you'll receive the following:
- Files to upload to a distributor
- Stems so you can use the tracks for a live performance

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: 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, but I go hard.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: New artists, because 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, really.
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.
