Jim Hustwit

Music Producer in London

I’ve been producing music for 15 years and have written for Universal, Sony/ATV and Ninja Tune.

I work with singers – songwriters and independent artists to produce Acoustic, Folk, Indie, Funk and Alt Pop.

For me there is nothing more exciting and inspiring than taking a musical idea and collaboratively nurturing it in to musical masterpiece that grabs hold of the listener and won’t let go.

I work out of my recording studio in North London which is also the home of my record label. My clients benefit from my extensive knowledge of being a singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

My goal is to help you create outstanding music.

What Can I Help You With?

Great music is about engaging the listener emotionally and this can be done through all of the areas below:

SONGWRITING

Having spent many years writing and performing I can help with all areas of songwriting such as lyrics, melody, harmony and song structure. Songwriting is not an exact science but songs generally follow certain rules particularly if you want them to be commercially viable. There is a very fine line between art and commerce.

INSTRUMENTATION

The instrumentation you use goes a long way to defining your sound. It will influence the feel and style of your music and so it must be carefully considered. There are also creative ways to use different instruments to ensure that they are in keeping with the genre.

RECORDING

Recording is an art in itself and it varies in complexity depending on whether you are simply recording vocals in a studio or a choir in a church. I know how to record all instruments and ensembles. If it is an area with which I am not familiar I would bring in a relevant specialist.

ARRANGEMENTS

Arranging is the art of deciding which instruments do what and at what point during the song. This is in order to take the listener on a journey. It could be arranging basic band instrumentation, a brass section or even an orchestra. Either way the arrangement is critical in maximising the impact of a piece of music.

MIXING

Mixing is balancing of all the constituent parts of a piece of music so that they all sit in a distinct sonic space. It’s another key facet of creating a musical journey which emotionally engages the listener.
