I help indie folk artists craft unique, authentic, and emotionally powerful recordings.

When Your Music Doesn’t Sound Like You
You’ve got songs that mean something to you, but the recordings don’t yet reflect that meaning. Maybe your demos fall flat, or you’ve tried working with someone who didn’t quite “get” what you were going for.
You might be feeling stuck, like the sound in your head hasn’t yet made it into the world. Maybe you've felt misunderstood or unsure how to take your ideas from raw inspiration to something that truly resonates.
At the core, you believe your music matters because it reflects something honest. It’s personal. It’s emotional. It deserves to be heard—and to feel like you when it’s heard.
If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
How to get started
Book a Free Creative Connection Chat
We'll start with a no-pressure conversation where you can share your vision, your challenges, and your goals. I'll listen, ask questions, and offer insight. If it makes sense to work together, great. If not, I'll still try to point you in a helpful direction.
2. Collaborate and Create
Together, we’ll shape your songs into something emotionally honest and sonically excellent. Whether you're starting from a voice memo or a full demo, I’ll meet you where you are. We'll work at a pace that allows the music to fully come to life.
3. Share Your Story
When your songs feel right—like you can stand behind them—we’ll wrap and prep everything for release. You'll walk away with a record that sounds like you, only better.
why i do this
If you're an artist with a strong vision for your music and you're ready to bring it to life with clarity, focus, and integrity, you're in the right place.
You might be feeling stuck—like the sound in your head hasn’t yet made it into the world. Maybe you've felt misunderstood or unsure how to take your ideas from raw inspiration to something that truly resonates. And deep down, you believe your music matters because it reflects something real, something honest. I do too.
I’m Chris Jacobie—a producer based in Nashville—and I help singer-songwriters and indie folk artists make records that feel as true as they sound. My goal is simple: to make your songs sound like you, only better.
Whether you're making your first record or your fifth, I create a collaborative space where you can focus entirely on the music. No pressure to have all the answers—just come with a point of view and a willingness to shape something real together.
From my home studio, I’ve produced albums for artists like Penny & Sparrow, Ryvoli, Matthew Pinder, and Duncan Fellows. Penny & Sparrow’s Tenboom debuted at #7 on the Billboard Folk Albums chart, and projects I've worked on have been featured on many top Spotify playlists and streamed millions of times.
But success isn't just about numbers. It's about that deeply satisfying moment when your song finally sounds like what you’ve always imagined. That’s what I’m here for.
If you want a producer who listens, collaborates, and helps bring your ideas into focus, let’s talk.
If you're interested, I offer a free, no-pressure creative connection chat—just a chance to connect, hear about your vision, and see if I can help.
Let’s make something that lasts.
What’s at stake?
You’ve put your heart into your songs. But without the right production, your music risks being overlooked—or worse, misunderstood.
Too many artists settle for recordings that feel flat, generic, or just not them.
But when your music sounds like your truest self—honest, emotional, and unmistakably yours—it resonates. It connects. And it lasts.
Let’s make sure your music sounds like it deserves to: like you.

What You Might Be Wondering
-
It’s a free, no-pressure conversation where we get to talk about your music—where you’re at, where you want to go, and what’s getting in the way. If we’re a good fit, we can explore what it might look like to work together. If not, I’ll still try to point you toward something or someone that could help. Either way, it’s a chance to get clarity and take a step forward.

Not at all. Some artists come in with a voice memo or a title. Others have a finished demo. Wherever you are, we’ll start there. Part of my job is helping you shape the raw beginnings into something honest and finished—something that sounds like you.

It really depends—on how far along your songs are, how we’re working (in-person vs. remote), and how life and creativity flow. Most songs I produce take about 3 studio days each, but some projects come together in a week while others unfold over a year.
That said, I don’t rush the creative process. This isn’t paint-by-numbers—this is about making something emotionally true. And that takes the time it takes.
If you’re working with a deadline, I’ll help you build a realistic plan—or let you know upfront if the timeline won’t work.

100%. I want this to feel like your record—not something that sounds like everyone else. You’ll be involved in every key decision, from the first spark to the final polish. Whether you want to be hands-on or prefer to react to ideas, we’ll find a rhythm that works for you.

It depends on the scope: how many songs, how complex the production is, and how we work together. Full productions typically range from $2,997–$3,997 per song.
But I also offer more affordable options—mixing, remote tracking, coaching, and feedback sessions. If a full production isn’t in your budget, I can still likely help in a way that’s meaningful.
After a free strategy call, I’ll send you a clear, no-pressure quote. If it’s not the right fit, I’ll be honest about that—and still try to point you in a helpful direction.
