Interview with Chase Ellestad

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to tour and perform for audiences is by far the most fun part of the job. Music is a universal language and being able to connect with people at live shows is the most thrilling part of being a singer.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Apollo Twin X4, Shure Sm7b, Genelec speakers, my fender stratocaster, and korg SV-1
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on Pop, EDM, and indie-rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Coming up with beautiful melodies and lyrics that will reinforce the emotional character of your song.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Professional vocals with melodies that weave together. I'm a music-theory-nerd at heart and love to explore progressions and vocals in a way that is lush and uniquely beautiful.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When I record vocals I need to absorb the track so that I can have an emotional response that is genuine for you. A lot of my best work tends to be one-take performances. I typically will spend the first-day doing melody writing and blocking in lyric ideas until there is a rough demo. Afterward, I will work with you to refine this demo until we have a concrete lead take that feels cohesive. Then we will dive into the details by adding backing layers and harmonies to make the vocal lush.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Lead Vocals. Lyrics/Writing. Full Instrumental Composition & Production. Session Keyboard Session Guitar
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: "Losing my mind" by New City is of the coolest songs I've worked on. It's been streamed millions of times and on many presitgious spotify playlists.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: New album.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is to deliver everything they're looking for and blow my clients away.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Genelec 8040C Mojave MA300 RE20 Shure SM7B Fender Jazz Bass Fender Stratocato (American 90's) Korg SV1 UAD Apollo Twin X UAD Ultimate Bundle (over $20,000 worth of UAD and Waves Plugins ).
