SHEPPARDSHEPPARD

2011 has been extremely busy for JNP and we're working very hard to make sure that we can offer all our clients the high level of service we're known for at the price point that we do.  

We've got some exciting projects lined up for the rest of the year, so if you're interested in working with JNP, get in touch soon!

For the last 5 weeks or so, I've been working with SHEPPARD - songwriting partnership Amy and George Sheppard.  They write tunes individually and together and they also collaborate with Sydney based Jay Bovino.

I've produced their debut album and pushed these young artists to get the best out of their songs and to make sure that they sound as good as they possibly can.

I worked with Steve Pope (Kate Miller-Heidke), Stu Barry (Katie Noonan et al), Danny T Levin (A Fine Frenzy, Brooke Fraser) for session work, as well as playing bass guitar, electric guitar and some organ myself.  I also composed some string arrangements for the record.

As I always tell my clients, what is being played and who plays it has more of an influence than any one piece of gear, no matter how great it is ... so we pulled out all the stops.

These guys have recorded in Manilla, and also been to another well known studio in Brisbane and were not satisfied with either result - so we're setting the record straight this time!

There are some gems on this one - look out for "Flying Away" as a single in the coming months.

I shall post a sample when we have masters back!

Onward and upward.
