..WHICH IS WHY SO MANY ARTISTS SOUND THE SAME NOWADAYS 😴
commercial viability in your music (please stop with the vocal chops and predictable drops).
All the big artists have a helping hand in the writing process, and you should be no different!
I can help you with lyrics, chords, arrangement, topline - let's finish some of those ideas you've been sitting on for years.
Ok so you've got a song. Now what? Here's where we add the parts that are going to make your song truly unique.
Programmed or live drums? Bass or synth? Keys? Guitar? How about a kazoo? Whatever it takes to make your song the best version of itself it can be.
AKA the clean up! Let's make sure this song sounds great in as many environments as possible.
People listen on headphones, in a car, on a phone in the toilet.. These finishing touches are the last essential part, making a good record a great record.
Hi, I'm David Kyle Payne.
I run Casella Studio, a remote songwriting and production studio based in London, UK. I also release sample packs under the name Casella Sounds.
I worked in the live music scene for many years as a session musician, but to be honest I'm bored of other people's formulaic and uninspired music. I want to help you be the weird and wonderful artist you truly are, and make the indie music scene a more interesting place.
I know what makes songs commercially successful (I spent the last 10+ years playing them every week) but I combine these principals with leftfield and alternate style productions.
