Endorse seva
Seva at Sequoyah Sounds in Knoxville, TN, is a pleasure to work with. He listens well to the customers needs and his abundant experience allows him to make excellent suggestions and to work fast! The building housing Sequoyah Sounds was actually built as a recording studio which makes it a rare commodity in East Tennessee. The facility allows multiple musicians to record at the same time in isolated rooms with enough windows so that the musicians can take advantage of visual cues while also being sonically separated. My band found the experience a real pleasure and we intend to return!
Worked with Seva in a project for 1-1/2 years. He is the one stop shop. A trained composer, engineer, mastering expert, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who will see your project from beginning to end and with excellent ears. And a swell smart guy.
I was the Mix and Master engineer in this production

- The Jeff Cregger BandOct 06, 2023
For several days in October 2023, Jeff and his band finished the project started weeks before. Six new songs by Jeff Cregger (guitar), along with Rodney Cash (drums), and Brad Deaton (bass) got vocal overdubs. Absolutely wonderful.
- Veers pre-tour rehearsalSep 22, 2023
Veers (Merrill Artists / ECR Music Group) made Sequoyah their first stop before their first show of 52 dates from August to December of 2023. Here's a verified-true description: "VEERS are an electrifying explosion of pure rock and roll laced with symphonic dreamscapes giving rise to the feeling of floating through the cosmos." Yeah, they do that. And keep doing it.
- Completed pre-production with Count PariahSep 22, 2023
David Ivory visited Sequoyah to work with Count Pariah (Blue Collar Records) on two upcoming singles. Two full days gave David time to tweak song structures and guitar tones.
