“There’s some guarantees when working with Rich. Firstly, he’s a top pro. Always diligent, great communication and fantastic people skills! Secondly, his out of the box thinking is a true gift. I have no hesitation in sending artists and creatives his way as I know he’ll both inspire and nurture untold creativity.” – Mark Bowater (Integrity Music)
How do you know when a song is finished? I’ve come across lots of songwriters who aren’t sure how to answer this. If that’s you then a song consultation is exactly what you need. These sessions are all about getting every part of your lyric and melody working together to say exactly what you want to say, how you want to say it. Now you can have confidence that your song is ready to sing live or to record.
“My song consultations with Rich have been absolutely amazing, turning half good song ideas into amazing fully finished songs! We’ve really dug down into the core of the songs and crafted all the ideas ring true to the desired meaning of the song. It’s been a pleasure having sessions with Rich and I’ll be having song consultations with him for many more years to come I’m sure!” – Simeon
When a lyric & melody are finished they often tell you how the music around the song should sound. Each production is bespoke and tailored to your personal sound. Together we will craft a track that communicates a sound that supports and embellishes the lyrics & melody you have so carefully created.
“Rich’s song consultation sessions are relaxed, but productive. Rich was so imaginative in his suggestions and offered a real depth of insight to my songs. At no point did he try and rewrite the whole songs, he just helped me to realise why I’m writing them and what I’m actually trying to say. I’m now at the point where my project is almost recorded and finished and I know it would not be where it is today without the support of Blank Canvas Music.” – Josh
I approach mixing with a creative mindset; the song has to feel right! All the time spent crafting lyrics, melodies, rhythms and sounds now come together. My approach is to draw out all the beautiful moments hidden in each multitrack and display them in their best light.
“Rich recently helped me develop the lyrics & melody of a song I started several years ago. He then also created a backing track to it that was beyond my expectations and better than I could have imagined! – Sharon
The central part of any song with singing is the vocal itself! I’ve spent over a decade working as a session singer and vocal coach. My approach allows singers to sing from the bottom to top of their range with natural freedom and strength. I’ve coached Hollywood Actors and Mercury Music Prize winning artists so let me help prepare for your project or tour.
