I am a record producer, musician and writer
just trying to do great work.
If this newsletter weren’t free, I still wouldn’t be rich.
Once a month, Off the Record pushes you to create your best music to date.
True story.
Ten years ago, a prominent Parisian studio owner asked my twenty-one-year-old self to engineer sessions for an A-list pop artist.
At the time, I had no fuckin’ idea what I was doing.
But I put on my lucky shirt, set up the mics as best as I could, and a few weeks later, cashed the biggest check I had ever seen addressed to my name.
I’ve been making records ever since.
To date, I’ve produced, mixed and recorded tracks for mainstream pop acts, indie rock bands, bedroom pop singers (lots of bedroom pop), alt-jazz combos, and all kinds of songwriters.
But I could be full of shit, couldn’t I?
You need to know I can deliver before you hand over your hard-earned cash.
So I’ll let my previous clients do the talking:
Trisha J
Singer Songwriter
“Working with Baptiste was an incredible experience. Despite the distance, communication was seamless, and the coordination for the recording was spot on.
Baptiste’s attention to detail and expertise truly brought a whole new dimension to my project. It added depth and professionalism that took the single to the next level.
I particularly enjoyed the string arrangement. It was hauntingly beautiful, just like I imagined it.
Baptiste not only met but exceeded expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this project.”
WaterbørNE
Singer Songwriter & Producer
(Fuzzy Vox, Vigor Hugo, Fancy Beast…)
“Baptiste was really professional, discreet and reserved… in a good way! He was mostly listening, and this is a rare quality these days! He provided a framework to push me to work on the songs, and pointed out the details when I was too busy considering the whole project.
Somehow I had lost confidence in my music, yet ironically felt the urge to complete the songs. Baptiste simply seemed to believe in the music, and softly guided me to work on the songs we both liked the most.
Oh and he also recorded some beautiful woodwinds. Precious!”
CLOUD
Singer Songwriter & Producer
“The attention to detail, the love of the work and the empathy of Baptiste make all the difference.
A pleasure to work with.”
Francesca Pidgeon
Singer Songwriter & Producer
(Dilettante, BC Camplight, Kumiko)
“Thank yoouuuu for everything, for doing all the mixing, and for doing all the believing in me that I didn’t do myself.”
Le Mandrill
Composer & Label Owner
“Baptiste brought a new and attentive ear to my tracks.
I was going around in circles, doubting, and he knew how to bring the necessary clarity and punch that I could no longer find.”
Mehdi Major
Singer Songwriter & Producer
(Usky, CLOUD, JACKANDTYLER, Our Theory…)
“One of the greats.”
