Lee Adams

Music Producer, Mix Engineer

Lee Adams on SoundBetter

Commercial pop/EDM producer and songwriter with multiple composition and production credits over the years. I have also mixed many different genres for both commercial major label artists as well as artists on independent labels.

I can compose songs in genres such as commercial pop, EDM, indie rock and many other more specific genres such as reggaeton, hip-hop and metal. I can and have produced songs in almost any style, given high quality recordings i can also mix and master a commercial level track that would not look out of place alongside established major artists. I have 15 years experience in the business and welcome creating with artists new and old. It doesn't matter what the project is, if its creative and new I will enjoy the challenge and help an artist achieve their goal.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
