Right Hand Studios is a client-focussed, Birmingham-based audio production studio that specialises in urban genres such as R&B, Hip-Hop, Gospel, Soul and Rap.
RHS started out with owner Jordan Christian producing part-time, back in 2015. Since then, we have grown and developed to encompass most aspects of record production and sound design, having worked with a range of clients in the studio and at live events. As we begin, we will work from our high-quality home studio where you will experience a friendly atmosphere with an intentional workflow and professional-level communication.
Because we know the challenges of starting out on your own all too-well, we believe that a vast majority of talented musicians remain undiscovered. Out of this experience, we are invested in working with artists and their career development; promising inspiration, opportunity and confidence, for a well-rounded experience to use as a launchpad into an increasingly competitive market.
Here at Right Hand Studios, from the initial recording sessions, to sound design considerations, to procuring the mastered audio, we specialise in audio mixing and production for singer-songwriters, bands and artists of almost every skill level. There's nothing we want more than to offer professional, punctual and personal audio production services at a competitive price.

Interview with Right Hand Studios
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Releasing self-produced works on Bandcamp, and a possible Sample Library. Watch this space...
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Jordan Criddle. He has definitely inspired me.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Most definitely a hybrid. It's the best of both worlds, and in this current climate, we can have both.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Professionalism and Personality, over profit.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That we get to work with people! We love people.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They always ask 'what's next for you?' but that's not important.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That creativity and business are the same thing. They are most definitely not.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is your 'why'? For this project? For your career?
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with Propaganda or Andy Mineo. They are class unto themselves and have crazy ideas!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Make templates for every stage of your production process. Never underestimate templates.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: R&B and Hip-hop are favourites. Soundtrack and cinematic genres are really enjoyable too.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Pioneering. It's kind of the sweet spot between leadership and discovery, and is never sloppy. Mixing and producing can lead to so many new musical discoveries that tend to lead to 'happy accidents'.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Everything we can. Music is spiritual and contains a lot of feelings. If anyone holds back, then the audience is going to hear it. We intend to use the years of production experience to bring technical, managerial and personal approach to every song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First move is to invite the client to a free consultation where we get to know and see if we fit each other. Then, we move onto the proposal and set terms of the agreement. After that, we get to work on the project, developing our communication and relationships along the way. Finally, after everything has been considered, we master tracks and talk distribution.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It may appear fairly basic because it's a relatively small recording space but it more than does the job. The gear is mentioned on the page, and the space is incredibly inviting.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Wes Pendleton inspires me both sonically and professionally. He recently sold his Soul Music Sample Library to Splice for a multi-million dollar figure.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: We produce, arrange, mix and master, as well as some lyric structure and composition. We also encourage our clients to do their homework.
