  1. Review by Rich Harris

    Kate has become one of my most trusted collaborators for co-writing, vocals, and toplining. As someone who has tracked and mixed hundreds of vocalists through the years, Kate's stellar performance and natural vocal tone makes my job incredibly easy on the back end. I can consistently trust her to deliver high quality, comped, and tuned vocals, along with uniquely brilliant writing that pairs perfectly both lyrically and melodically with my productions. Skillset, talent, and reliability rarely come together as strongly in a creative and Kate has routinely brought these to the table for me.

    I've worked with Kate on easily hundreds of writing/production sessions in genres as wide-ranging as contemporary pop to alt-country & Americana to K-Pop to sync; she is the real deal. Her ability to consistently deliver at a high level is second-to-none, whether it's an endless stream of fresh lyric concepts/topline melodies, producing and performing release-ready vocals with ease, or her uncanny skill for distilling an artist's vision into singular, original songs that are simultaneously infectious and compelling. She has been an asset to me and will be one to any project you bring to her.

Interview with Kate Ryder

  1. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  2. A: My one music production tip is to trust your gut. If your first idea is the one you keep coming back to, don't ignore that!

  3. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  4. A: I usually work on pop music, but often find myself in pop-country, R&B and K-Pop sessions.

  5. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  6. A: My strongest skill is in fresh melodic/rhythmic writing. I love great lyrics and even better melodies!

  7. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  8. A: I bring my personal style and attitude to every song I work on. Amongst the artists I most commonly work with I am known as someone with a lot of great ideas and a great sense of humor about finding the perfect words and melodies. I have an absolute obsession with 'the right feel' in a song, and often this comes down to instinct!

  9. Q: What's your typical work process?

  10. A: My work process starts by getting to know the exact needs of my client by listening a few times through. When I'm toplining an existing track, I will first record an idea track with a general outline for melody and lyric structure. From there, I will work to refine both until I finish with a well-balanced melody and perfect lyrics.

  11. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  12. A: My studio set-up is run on a MacBook Pro through a Presonus preamp and Kali Audio IN-8 studio monitors. I record on an AKG 214 through Studio One.

  13. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  14. A: I am a huge fan of Julia Michaels' writing- she has such an inspired perspective on lyrics and melodic rhythm.

  15. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  16. A: The most common work I complete for my clients is toplining and singing lead vocals.
