Zardo on SoundBetter

I'm a young producer living in Nashville looking for more people to connect and work with! If you're not happy, I'm not happy.

I specialize in singing and guitar and have over 10 years of music and recording experience. I love to get invested in projects I believe in and help people take their potential to new heights! I also play banjo, bass, piano, and some light percussion. Let me know if I can help!

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

Interview with Zardo

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

  2. A: I worked on Austin Burke's first single "Sleepin' Around". I did the pre production, and was an assistant producer on the main track. I wrote the intro guitar hook, which gave the song another layer of uniqueness and has accumulated over 7 million streams on Spotify. He trusted me with his sound and I feel like I was able to compliment his vision.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: Right now I'm working on a couple EP's for artist's in Nashville, TN. I'm also working on new solo project stuff.

  5. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  6. A: John-Luke Carter he is an incredibly talented producer and writer. Definitely the man for productions, programming, or top lining.

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Both! There is something special about analog, but combining it with digital leaves unexplored terrains in music. I look forward to the development of music technology in the coming years.

  9. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  10. A: I've been playing music for over 10 years and producing and recording over the past 5 years in Nashville.

  11. Q: How would you describe your style?

  12. A: I would describe it as energetic guitar pop. I started as a guitar player and admiring guys like John Mayer and Ed Sheeran.

  13. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  14. A: Taylor Swift. Kinda funny but she is such an incredible songwriter and I feel like I could learn a thing or two from her.

  15. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  16. A: Give every part a purpose. Those are the best and most tasteful songs to me. Don't just put in more noise, unless it's intentional.

  17. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  18. A: Being in Nashville, I usually work with Country and Pop musicians, but have done a lot of grassy folk stuff as well.

  19. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  20. A: I run Pro Tools on my iMac. My interface is a UA Apollo Twin Mk II, I use my Neumann TLM 102 for vocals and acoustic instruments and and API 512c Pre Amp.

  22. A: Jacquire King, Jack Antonoff, John Mayer, Ed Sheeran.
