Music Composition/Licensing

WELCOME:

Welcome to Studio Nine Productions, located outside of Boston in Marlborough, Ma. Managed by an award winning musician with international touring experience and years of music production knowledge, Studio Nine Productions can fulfill all of your music composition, production, and recording needs.

DETAILS:

Studio Nine's main focus is on composing original music for clients to license or buy outright. A sampling of clients feature ABC, NBC, CBS and many cable television networks. Shows include "JAG", "Soul Food" , “One Life To Live" and “Mind of Mencia”. Music has also been composed for Macmillan Educational Publishing, both the Mexico and UK branches, and for Boston's WBZ TV. Audio excerpts are available via the "examples" link above.

Also available are live music services, including instrumental solo, duo and trio performances. Information and audio samples are available by scrolling to and clicking on the links just above this text.

My secondary focus is as a traditional recording studio and I am a frequent contributor to the national periodical "Recording Magazine". I've recorded narration for Boston's WBZ TV and Lockheed Martin's Florida office, among others. Songwriters have recorded many demo's here, and I've done numerous mastering projects for local artists. See the "credits", "publishing’s" and "services" links.

Thanks for visiting the site. Please contact me with any questions. Demo's and references are always available!
