My Work as Producer

I’ve posted some of my credits here.

A Quick Bio

I am a freelance music producer, songwriter, mixer, and ridiculously amateur designer… please forgive the chaos here as I code in clumsy fashion.

I started The Burst Collective in 1996. Burst is the corporate umbrella for all my related musical endeavors.

In 2007, I launched an online music licensing portal, BurstLabs.com, and then partnered with Sony/ATV and Extreme Music in 2008 to take things up a notch (um, the minutiae of music licensing paperwork and remembering to invoice clients are not exactly my professional strong points).

I’m a fairly successful commercial music producer and composer… I have literally thousands of cues currently being used by such varied clients as Microsoft, GM & Gatorade, virtually all of the top shows on HBO, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all across the globe in countries I will likely never even visit. Heh.

My first love in the music world is producing records for other artists, something I’m grateful I still get to do from time to time.

Burst Records is home to a few singer songwriters I’ve produced.

Most of those recordings were made at Burst HQ, a pretty kickass recording studio that I built in 2002 in a former post office just outside Milwaukee.

I’ve made some in-roads as a pop songwriter, having co-wrote Emma Roberts first single, I Wanna Be (iTunes), for her Columbia Records debut.

I’m a recovering former fundamentalist evangelical prone to fits of righteous indignation at the lies told by those in power, and I treasure genuine conversation with real people.

I adore my three kiddos and the lovely Kate.

Our puppy ain’t bad, either.
