Matt Kass
Producer · Songwriter · Mixer · Coach
Coaching shaped by twenty years of making records.
I’m a producer, songwriter, mixer and coach based in Nashville. I’ve spent more than 20 years helping artists finish records, improve their mixes and feel more at home in their own process.
My background spans touring, artist development, studio systems and sync placements across HBO, Netflix and Fox Sports. In a session, I try to keep things clear and practical: honest feedback, useful tools and plenty of room for your taste.

How we can work
Start with the project you’re already making.
The song or session becomes the curriculum. We focus on the choices in front of you and build skills you can carry into the next project.
Songwriting + artist development
Strengthen what makes the song yours.
We can work on structure, melody, harmony and lyrics while keeping sight of the larger artistic world the song belongs to.
Mixing + finishing
Make confident finishing decisions.
We’ll listen for balance, energy, punch, depth and translation, then decide together what the track still needs and what it doesn’t.
For independent artists and working producers. Also available for managers, labels or studios supporting an artist who needs clearer creative direction.
What changes
More confidence in the room. More music finished.
“Matt upgraded my setup and streamlined my workflow, all while pointing out exactly what was holding my songs back and where I could grow. I’ve gone from experimenting aimlessly to confidently producing tracks for myself and my co-writers.”

A second set of ears
Get unstuck without starting over.
When a song or mix has been “almost done” for too long, the answer usually isn’t another plugin or tutorial. It’s clear outside perspective on the music in front of us.
I’ll tell you what I hear, explain why it matters and help you test the change yourself—so you leave with a stronger track and a process you can reuse.

Studio consulting
Your studio should make it easier to create.
