Joel Hammond on SoundBetter

Whether you want to touch some souls with a stripped-back, heartfelt production, or melt faces with EDM-fueled sound design, I'm here to help you develop the best version of your song possible.

Hi there! My name is Joel, and I'm here to help you take your next release to the next level. My passion is to collaborate with artists from all walks of life and provide an open, inclusive & safe space for creativity to flourish.

I have over a decade of experience in the music industry. From my roots in the alternative & pop-punk scene, to my most recent EDM project as J*Sounds, I want to use my eclectic taste in music, my experience, and my skills as a producer, to bring your ideas to life.

If you are looking for a producer who will collaborate with you and make you feel like you're part of a team, then look no further!

I work best with artists who are communicative, have a clear vision, and know their music well. Working together will feel like a conversation; I will ask lots of questions, share works-in-progress and seek out your opinions to make sure we are on the same page throughout the project.

REMIXES
I also offer remixes as J*Sounds - check out my Spotify for my most recent work!

--SAMPLES COMING SOON--
Until then, check out my EDM project, J*Sounds on all streaming platforms!

KEEP YOUR MASTERS
Unless expressly agreed on with you, I claim no ownership of the master audio file for your song.

Interview with Joel Hammond

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I just finished a round of remixes; I'm also currently producing an EP for a client, as well as working on: a song for my own project, a cover that I'm working on with another producer, and starting out a new song with a brand new client!
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Alex Acheson is an incredibly talented electronic/pop producer who is always a pleasure to talk and work with. Highly recommend!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital! Analog emulation is so accurate now that I can barely tell the difference, and the portability of a DAW on a laptop is unbeatable.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will always match the artist's commitment to their art and produce something that both myself and the artist will be proud of.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That we need to be in the studio together to make a song! Living in New Zealand means I mostly work online - this is one of the reasons communication is so important to me.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is the idea behind the song? What instruments can you hear on the song? What emotions do you want the listener to feel when they hear your song? What existing songs would you use as a reference, and what do you like about them?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Never be afraid to reach out to a producer to talk about your ideas. Even if we don't end up working together, we mostly just like talking to artists about their art :)
