Authentic Indie/Pop/Folk Production
with Benjamin Jay Thomas
Take a listen to this “Before and after” demo for a little idea of what I’d love to do with your song…
Drawing on 15+ years of experience w/ songwriters, producers and agencies, as well as running a recording studio in partnership with Nike and Jordan Brand, I can take YOUR song from sketchy demo to fully produced track, drawing inspiration from artists like Bon Iver, The National, Sufjan Stevens, Noah Kahan, Phoebe Bridgers and others.
There's SO MUCH music out there. How do you stand out? How do you create something truly special? How do you make music that makes people FEEL something?
Over the course of my career I've come to an awareness of what makes a song really special: AUTHENTICITY.
You can't manufacture authenticity. It comes from within. But, through years of writing and recording I've developed tools and practices that help me tap into my own authenticity, and bring it out in others. It's THAT authenticity that makes the difference between a song that is technically perfect and uniquely meaningful. It’s THAT authenticity that the artists I referenced above have learned to connect with and fuse into their music. My goal is to do the same with you.
Here's the deal: I want to offer you something so much more human and meaningful than a copy/paste "session" -- Something truly inspired. In order to do that I'll only take on your project if it feels like a fit. If we do work together, I'll treat your song with the exact same care I treat my own. Take a minute to read through my reviews and you'll hear my previous clients attest to that.
Hit me up with an email below if you have any questions or to get a quote for your song. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more production samples and make sure to listen to the "before and after" example above… that song went from demo to complete song in less than 48 hours!
Looking forward to connecting more!
Benjamin

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - “Working with Benjamin was a surreal experience. His contributions, arrangements, and ideas were just what my song needed to truly lift its' wings and fly. Not only was he ultra communicative during the entire process, but he is just a warm, peaceful, soul. Working with him is truly a meditative experience and the elements he brings to the table will have you smiling from ear to ear, and if you're like me, constantly tearful while observing your dream come to life.” - Jermmel

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Ben is by far the greatest producer I have ever worked with. He is professional, hard working and talented. He puts his heart and soul into the production, vision and songs. He even has song guides on how to sing it as effective as possible. Be prepared to smile; not only for the music he makes with you but also because of him. It was truly a pleasure and a gift to work with him and I will continue to work with him! Thank you Ben! - Brice K.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I have worked with Benjamin on many recordings over the past 15 years, and he remains one of my favorite producers, songwriters, and trusted confidants. Whether through his approach to guitar harmony, sonic landscape, or just being able to take a “helicopter view” of a musical idea, Ben is able to draw out the best in a song or artist. And even though I’m now based in Nashville, TN (which is not bereft of the world’s best producers) I still choose to work with Ben and pass like-minded artists his way. I cannot speak highly enough! - Zach G.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I love working with Ben. Recording is always a vulnerable process but Ben makes it easy by creating a safe environment, offering really valuable suggestions for improvement in a way that feels encouraging and respectful. From this elevated environment comes a more authentic performance. Then he works his magic and turns a loose idea into a fully polished work of art, I’m super pleased how our songs have turned out! - Alica C.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had an exceptional experience working with Ben to create a song for our grand daughter’s birthday. He was very professional, and kept us in the loop during the entire creation process. Ben took the time to understand her backstory, and weaved unique sound bites into the final song. His lyric writing is very impressive, and the we could not be happier of the final product produced. Would recommend Ben highly on any concept to final song product project, or anything in between. Thanks Ben!! - Michael A.
