“Last year, I set an ultimate goal for myself: create an album of my original songs. I didn't care if it took years to do; the only requirement was that it has to be the kind of quality of which I can be proud for the rest of my life.
As such, I was in no hurry to find a producer. It only mattered that I found the right one to bring this dream to life. As life would have it, I met Pete, and we had our first session yesterday.
From our brief conversation at the beginning, he was able to determine exactly what I need from him, musically and emotionally, in order to create this album - including often overlooked factors like the studio being a safe space where the artist can feel vulnerable, trusted, respected, creative in new and weird ways - and even though we were only scheduled for three, we spend the next nine hours creating, laughing, learning and putting all that energy into the music.
The Dreams Loft isn't just a name that Pete slapped on the business - it truly describes his personal mission to make the dreams of other artists come true. I was honestly floored not only by his passion but how incredible his skills are. I don't think I realized what could truly be possible - technically, sonically - with my album until he showed me.
I can't express much I'm looking forward to our next session and the album I now know needs to made with Pete :)”
“Without ever having met Pete, I e-mailed him to see if he could produce, mix and master my 5-song EP within the following few weeks. His prompt, professional and personal response, followed by a couple of phone calls to talk through what I wanted and how the process would work, impressed me immediately. He committed himself fully to the process, even though he was very busy with other projects on at the same time, fitting in time to record the different artists I was collaborating with, in different locations, as needed to align with everyone’s schedules. His technical skills are superb and his equipment is top notch, but what impressed me most was Pete’s attitude and philosophy around his job. He just wants to “get out of the way of the song” and show your ideas in their best light, giving gentle and very helpful suggestions along the way to help you with that objective. I’m really proud of the recordings that came out of this process, and it’s hard to imagine having done them with anyone else. I really can’t recommend Pete enough.”
