Q: Are there any singer-songwriters you’ve produced that really stand out to you or taught you something new about music? A: Yes, I’ve worked with many, many singer-songwriters over the years (partly because I was the Director of Southern California for the West Coast Songwriters organization for three years). While there have been some true talents among them, the most fascinating observation (and, therefore, learning experience) has been that in the indie sector, each singer-songwriter is very individualistic — often blending genres — far more than genre-specific singer-songwriters (thinking Country and Pop specifically). I am constantly wowed by their innovation in genre-blending and always proud to help bring their creations to life. Since this is a San Francisco-headquartered publication, I should mention two local singer-songwriters I’ve had the joy to produce: Katie Ekin (Santa Cruz) and Billy Lawler (Sacramento).
