SPENCER SIMS- Artist Bio Spencer Sims is a born and raised Chicago-native who’s brought a soulful and experimental sound to the rap scene since he started rapping in 2012. A triple threat performer, songwriter, and producer, Sims has a prolific output and has recorded over 100 tracks in 2021 alone. His first year of streaming yielded him over 120k streams on Spotify, and another of his self-produced albums is set to release within the next year(2022). When asked what he’d like to bring to the music scene, Spencer Sims says, “I want to push the boundaries and blur the lines within the genres we know and love. I want to open the listeners mind to a side of the music scene that is not tapped into often. Vulnerability, openness and transparency over some of the most interesting and forward thinking production I can come up with is what I hope to deliver on every album and single.” “Growing up in Chicago in an environment that can be so hostile at times I try to give the listener a unique experience full of both ugly truths and reassurance that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I PROMISE i am the producer/artist for you, I will treat every job I get with the same care that I would give my own music. LET'S MAKE SOME IMPACTFUL MUSIC.

Why do I engineer and produce audio? Not only because of my fascination with the science of sound, but because an audio project should not be simplified into just instruments playing in unison or people talking into microphones. It is a collection of sounds, fighting to work together in the perfect way; yet, there is no manual on how! More importantly, it is an aspect of one's imagination and emotion that is exemplified through their creative release. In order for your audience to understand your creative genius and the message you are sending, it has to sound clean and clear. I'm the guy that will guarantee clarity in your message! How do I plan to do that you ask?! By combining a strong work ethic, top-notch hardware/software, and the knowledge I acquired while in attendance at Capital University and The Recording Workshop, I can produce a sound quality that runs synonymous to the industry standard! Hi! I'm Cory, an audio engineer, composer, radio personality, and producer from Cleveland, Ohio who is currently residing in Woodridge, Illinois. I produce beats as well as mix, master, edit, restore, design, and record audio. I provide my best effort in a timely fashion. I only care about what sounds best for you! I am not concerned with becoming a clone whose entire existence in this industry is causing over-saturation, low quality work, and a bad name for great audio engineers. I just want everything I touch to be brilliant. I strive for originality and perfection. Having worked with the large clientele that I have, I now have the experience to make your next project legendary!

Hey! I am excited for the opportunity to help you on your next project! Starting as a producer/guitar player years ago, I have since completed a degree in audio, gained certifications and expertise in Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Audition, as well as earned credits as a mix engineer. As an audio editor I can quickly assist you with removing that unwanted noise, stutters, repetition, or crutch words (such as “um’s,” "like," "kinda," "sorta," etc.) from your recordings. I will also add your selected music, sound design, and deliver a fully mixed and mastered audio render; adding polish using advanced post-production tools/techniques, and exporting your deliverables at the appropriate loudness standards for the platform(s) you plan to upload to. With a degree in audio and many years of audio editing experience, I have worked on a variety of projects: podcast editing, live band recording, game soundtracks, artist collaborations, and many other projects. In order to maintain a quality and efficient workflow, I have templates within my DAW ready for the editing and mixing of many genres of music or dialogue. Check the attachments below for samples of my work. Let's chat, Orrie Diefenbach
