Full Ska & Reggae Production | Real Instruments | Ed Rome for $900

FULL SKA & REGGAE PRODUCTION | REAL INSTRUMENTS

Have you written a song that you think could work as a Ska or Reggae track, but don't have the musicians or production team to turn it into a finished record?

I'll take your song and build a complete Ska or Reggae production around it.

You can start with anything from a finished demo to a rough vocal and guitar/piano recording. I'll develop the arrangement, create the backing track and turn your idea into a full-band production.

I specialise in Ska and Reggae and have spent years writing, recording, producing and performing this music.

WHAT I CAN ADD

• Drums
• Bass
• Electric and acoustic guitars
• Keyboards
• Saxophone
• Percussion
• Additional instrumentation where appropriate
• Arrangement and production
• Mixing
• Mastering

I play guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, mandolin and harmonica, and can bring in additional musicians where required.

REAL MUSICAL PERFORMANCE

This isn't simply a programmed backing track.

The aim is to create a convincing full-band recording with the feel, dynamics and character of real Ska or Reggae.

I will work with your original song and retain what makes it yours, while developing the arrangement and production to make it work as a finished record.

YOUR SONG, TRANSFORMED

Your song doesn't need to already sound like Ska or Reggae.

If you've written a Pop, Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter or other style of song and think it could work as Ska or Reggae, send it to me.

I'll work out how the rhythm, bass, guitars, drums, keys, horns and arrangement can transform it into something completely new.

MY EXPERIENCE

I've written, produced, recorded and released numerous Ska and Reggae records of my own and have worked with artists including The Beat, Lee 'Scratch' Perry and members of The Specials.

I've also written and produced material for other Ska and Reggae artists, including Death Of Guitar Pop and Cian Downing.

My own music has received BBC Radio support from presenters including Alex Lester, Craig Charles, David Rodigan, Tom Robinson and Phil Taggart.

THE PROCESS

1. Send me your song/demo and we'll discuss the direction.
2. I'll develop the Ska or Reggae arrangement and production.
3. I'll build the instrumental using real instruments and musicians where appropriate.
4. We'll refine the production together.
5. I'll mix and master the finished track.

Up to 10 revisions are included, so we can make sure the finished production is something you're genuinely happy with.
