I want to help you find your sound! Every client deserves a bespoke approach to production that serves their unique artistic vision.I've been making music for over 15 years--in a variety of groups, in different roles, with different sounds. I've learned that intention, preparation, and collaboration make the for the best results.
Hey, I'm John Gray Shermyen!
My philosophy as a producer is to provide more than just technical assistance. While I do have formal training in production and songwriting from Berklee, I find that I draw even more from my experience as bandmate and creative collaborator. I'm happy to help engineer your recording, but I'm really here to help you find the best version of each album, song, or chorus--to figure out with you what influences and guides your work, then shape the project to best reflect those intentions.
Whether you are a band with your own well-defined sound or a songwriter looking to flesh out ideas, everything starts with a conversation. We'll go over your influences, your timeline, and your vision for the project. I can help arrange a whole project from a home demo, sourcing additional musicians as needed, or just help your band find the best way to capture your unique sound, and most natural performance in the studio.
Beyond working with artists, I also provide bespoke audio editing and composing. In the past, this has been as wide ranging as short film background music to equine dressage freestyle editing! I also provide custom commercial music as well!
