Producer

Living life to shape the sound of music

With a complex and unique set of skills that have proven to be very valuable for those that he works with, he is accomplished and well developed in the fine arts of record producing, music engineering, DJ remixing, and performing. Deep in the education of music theory, having studied under several grammy award winning artists through several categories of music from country, hip-hop, jazz to bluegrass and back again, it is easy to see that he has put in the work to get to where he is today.

He is currently collaborating with artists and working on his own quite diverse solo album that includes music that covers many different categories. With an energetic lean towards dance-country and hip-hop, some of the other tracks could fall perfect in movies, another area he is in pursuit of.

“I’ve been focusing my last few years in music engineering and producing using mainly Ableton Live and really getting to know some of the new industry standard third party plug-ins that have just recently been added to the music industry. I use Protools for recording when working with more of an acoustical set up, or when music is already produced in Protools. I’m pretty comfortable with any of the DAW’s really, so if work was already done with one particular DAW, sometimes I’ll stay in it. There are many reasons for that.”

“I currently have close to 200 songs I have written, recorded and produced that I have not yet released, I think now is never a better time to get the music out for all artists and that is what has led me to work in the music industry full-time.”

“I developed the ability to learn songs very quickly by ear and that really makes collaborating with others incredibly fun for me. I think it’s important to foster the spirit of creative energy when it happens and this ability can really help in the synergy between artists and in capturing the raw emotion and authenticity of the moment.”

Whether collaborating with established artists or nurturing his own music Scotty Keys delivers productions that resonate with those around him. His dedication to his crafts in music performance, combined with years of education, study, and woodshedding has developed him into a very unique and valuable asset.
