Every beat, every synth, every little detail—just right.

Every time I hear the final track, I fall in love with the song all over again. Killian somehow hears the soul of the idea and builds the production around that. It’s not just music—it’s storytelling.

Another excellent track completed!

I’ve had Billboard chart hits in my career, and for my new songs now I turn to Killian. He is a master track maker, and an amazing musician. He totally gets the point and feel of the song and produces a hit track for it - he makes killer tracks! Not enough words to praise him. If you’re looking for the best Pro Producer for your song, Killian’s your guy!

Killian is one of the most professional producers I've worked with on sound better. He was able to give my track the atmospheric ethereal sounds I was wanting.

Killian is a genious ! From a few ideas, he makes a complete production. It's now 7 songs we've done together. Believe me, you'll never be disapointed.

Just finished 1st song (which i was nervous about, cause it's my 1st song with Killian on my own - on a Solo project)
I now feel confident to keep working on both my collaboration projects and solo projects. Happy with and loving both:)Thank you!! - Love it, killer song and now it has a cool indie rock factor. I really appreciate everything Killian brought to the song. Many many thanks Killian:)

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I work with a lot of singers/writers on Sound Better.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog Sounds better but Digital makes the work flow much quicker and easier to get the idea out of your head. I use both.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: 100% satisfaction. I want them to love the work. If i believe in the music i will always try to get it in front of the right people.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process starts with listening to the song or references several times and feeling the vibe. I then come up with a game plan of how I can help bring the song to the next level. I love to add my own taste/vibe to the track while understanding/maintaining the artists vision. It is all about team work!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They ask if their track can be played on the radio or signed by a big label. I say yes sure!! Let me help you to get it to that level
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I make a lot tracks from start to finish... Artists will send me the basic song idea, let me know what they are hoping to achieve and i help them get to the finish line. I also mix and master fully produced/recorded tracks to a "Radio Ready" standard. A lot of times i will also help them get their music in front of publishers/labels and managers through my contacts here in Los Angeles.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That having more instruments and tracks means better sounding songs/mixes. Its all about doing whats best for the song! Less is sometimes more but then again sometimes MORE IS MORE!! It's all about the song!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I like to find out what music they love and what vision they had when they created the song! This is by far the most important thing!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 1. Piano 2. Headphones 3. Laptop 4. Apollo 5. Neumann Mic
