Ego free singer-songwriter open to collaborate on your project. I like to make indie-folk with a touch of jazz, prog, and sometimes rock. Honestly...I don't make polished pop. If you want Top 100 there are better choices. I'm for the people who like something that is clearly "handmade" and bespoke.
I've recorded 50+ songs of my own, and "Jason Pilling" on Spotify is my resume. I self-engineer tracks in my home studio with good quality gear. I'm not a grizzled veteran of 100's of sessions, but I know how to get a good recording from my voice, and my instruments, in my room.
I'm friendly, reliable, and business-like. If you send me a request, I'll respond...no ghosting. I'll produce a high quality track, clean output, edited without any pops or clicks, and I'll do in within the timeline I said I would.
I've got a variety of high quality instruments to give tone options that are suitable for your song. In analog world, multiple guitars, fretted and fretless bass (including a semi-electric double bass), banjitar, multiple ukeleles, analog synth, and my vocal range are all on the menu. In midi, I use a lot of high quality orchestral samples to dial in the "drama".
My "Producer" offer is for a collaboration on a full track, and would be quoted on based on some discussion of how many instruments and tracks were being imagined.
Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

Interview with Jason Pilling
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a one room studio, acoustically treated for quality tracking of vocals and acoustic instruments. I usually record electric guitars through a cab-simulator. I have high quality microphones and pre-amps. I generally rely on plug-ins instead of a rack of gear.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Regina Spector, Gord Downie, Aimee Mann, Steve Earle
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Solo songs with multiple collaborators.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: A real pre-amp and top quality interface. I think everything else can be digital.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you want pure hits and booming sub, I'm probably not the right person. I like to connect with lyrics and enhance the emotions of a meaningful song.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Part-time musician off and on during school and during day-job years. Full-time music since 2020 and committed to growing as a business and an artist.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Knowing how to use the gear you have is better than constantly buying more gear.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Bass among specific instruments. Arrangements in general.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: creativity and experimentation
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I experiment for a while and record when it's settles into something good.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: serve the song
