Producer, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist with my own studio in Toronto. I build songs from scratch or take existing ideas over the finish line — from production and arrangement to vocal editing and mixing. I also specialize in turning AI-generated ideas into original, human-made productions.
I’m Alec Switzman — a producer, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Toronto, where I own and run 412 Studios.
I’ve been making music my entire life. I play guitar, piano and bass, and I was formally trained as an opera singer, giving me a deep understanding of melody, harmony, arrangement, phrasing and vocal performance.
My approach is simple: find what makes your song special, then make it hit harder.
I can build a song completely from scratch, developing the arrangement, instrumentation, sounds and production around your vision. Or, if you already have a demo, melody, lyrics, voice memo or rough recording, I can help develop it, refine it and take it over the finish line.
I also offer detailed vocal editing and production, including tuning, timing and cleanup, as well as professional mixing to bring the entire record together.
I specialize in AI-to-human production too. If you have an AI-generated song or instrumental that captures an idea you love, I can rebuild it from the ground up — preserving the spirit of the original while creating something genuinely new, distinctive and human-made.
Whether you’re starting with a rough idea or sitting on a nearly finished track, I’ll help turn it into the strongest record it can be while keeping your vision at the center.
