Authentic Productions for Emotionally Honest Singer-Songwriters
I’ll give you the clarity, direction, and production support to turn your songs into recordings that feel honest and timeless.
Here’s How I Can Help
We’ll take your song from wherever it’s at—whether that’s a voice memo or a produced demo that isn’t quite hitting yet—to release ready.
Production
From an idea to a final product.
Production can look like a lot of different things, but at the core of my process is a commitment to creating a judgment-free, collaborative space where your vision and the emotional foundation of the music are front and centre.
We'll build your song's production from the ground up, including live instruments, virtual instruments, and vocals, and get it release-ready with world class mixing and mastering.
Song Finishing
If you have a demo that feels really strong, but you just know it's not fully ready yet, that's where song finishing comes in.
This isn't about changing the foundation you've built, but getting the absolute best out of what's already working.
We'll discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your current demo, then finish the production collaboratively before getting it over the finish line with mixing and mastering.
String Arrangements
If you're tired of strings that just sound pretty but don't make you feel anything, that's where I come in.
I approach strings like a producer first, session player second. My goal is to pull every last drop of emotion out of your song using strings.
You don't need sheet music or fancy Italian words, just a great song and a story to tell, I'll handle the rest.
& Here's How It Works
Most projects follow this 4-step framework
STEP ONE
Pre-Production
We’ll spend time upfront on a call together so we’re on the same page about your vision & the sound you’re going for, references, and next steps.
STEP TWO
Instrumental Production
If we’re clear on the direction, I’ll dive right in with a full version, but if we decide that we want to experiment with a few different possibilities, I’ll start by sketching out a few possible directions for your feedback. We’ll go back and forth as many times as needed to build out the perfect instrumental production.
STEP THREE
Vocal Production
Once the instrumental is approved, we’ll move onto finalizing the vocal production: getting the best takes possible of your lead vocal, as well as building out a vocal arrangement with doubles and harmonies. I’ll guide you through the tracking process (either on a home setup or in a studio local to you), and handle comping and editing on my end.
STEP FOUR
Mixing & Mastering
Finally, we’ll mix your track to a professional standard and outsource the master to a world-class engineer who will ensure it remains competitive on all devices, and sits alongside your references on a playlist.
I know firsthand what it’s like to be a songwriter doing everything yourself.
Hey, I’m Lucas, a music producer from Montreal, Canada 👋
When I released my first album, I was the writer, producer, mixing engineer, distributor, PR, photographer, content strategist, and so much more.
Unsurprisingly, I hated (and/or sucked at) most of those things, and it showed…no matter what I did, I couldn’t gain any traction.
The truth is most of us are only truly passionate about (and good at) one, or maybe a few of those things. And the fastest way to carve out your path in this industry is to focus relentlessly on your strongest skills.
Everything changed when I realized that production was my calling.
In the years since that first album, I’ve honed my craft producing hundreds of records for over 50 artists, amassing over half a million streams and having my work featured numerous times by the largest outlets in the Indie Folk space including AlexRainbirdMusic, Indie Folk Central, and Apeiron.
Through this, I’ve helped new artists like OAKN launch their first artist projects from 0 to garnering 200k+ streams, live performances and label attention, and established indie folk artists like Jordan Hart and Luna Keller get songs over the finish line with my signature live string arrangements.
If your passion is writing songs and performing, then we’d probably make a great team.
Let me handle the production so you can bring your song ideas to life within a month of that first voice memo without having to wear all the hats.
This way you can release music consistently and start to truly build momentum.

Some standouts from 25+ 5-star reviews on Trustpilot
Lucas for President!
"Lucas is truly one of the kindest, most empathetic people I know. He takes the time to understand you — how you feel and what you want — before even talking about the technical side of the song. (...) Working with Lucas feels like having a bandmate right beside you, thinking along with you to shape the music into something special."
LINZ DE STROOPER (OAKN)
Lucas is amazing to work with
"Lucas is amazing to work with, he genuinely cares about the story of the song (his insight as songwriter is such a great quality to have) and made a beautiful string arrangement. I love how it turned out!"
LUNA KELLER
Lucas has been really helpful and kind
“Lucas has been really helpful and kind in bringing all my ideas to life. It has been really beautiful seeing what has been able to be brought into fruition from my brain through his production capabilities and effort and I’m grateful to have had him help me with my second single!"
AMARA VEIL
Incredibly professional work
"Incredibly professional work from start to finish. Lucas is so multitalented and able to take an artist’s essence, enhance it, and bring the full vision to life collaboratively and intentionally. Could not recommend more!"
MELISSA SWEAT (LADY LAZARUS)
A rare musical treasure
“There isn't enough space to truly review how incredible Lucas is. (...) I spent the last two years looking to find a producer/arranger who could take my folk songs and arrange them with ambience and bring them to life. (...) Lucas was the missing link to bringing my songs to life in a direction I never even anticipated."
RYAN COHEN
10/10 Recommend
"Working with Lucas was a wonderful experience, he really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made sure the song I was conceptualizing not only was possible but also sounded amazing! He was incredibly helpful with explaining throughout the process so I knew the changes and steps towards its completion, and worked with me to get exactly the sound and energy I was looking for."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q. How does pricing work?
You’ve heard it before but it’s because it’s true: my pricing varies based on the project.
Here’s why: my mission isn’t to sell a one-and-done service to artists, but to help you achieve your goals and reach the next step in your career. Before we can talk about price, it’s essential that I hear the music you’re working on & understand what you’re trying to achieve so I can help you get there.
So don’t be afraid to send in some music and book a call :) Worst case scenario if there’s a budget misalignment I’m always stoked to meet new artists, geek out about music together, and help you out in whatever way I can during those 30 minutes.
Q. What's the typical timeline?
For a full production a typical timeline is 4-6 weeks, depending on the revisions process. For smaller projects like post-production and song finishing this will be closer to 2-3 weeks, and for string arrangements, 1-2 weeks.
Q. Can you work alongside my existing team (mixing engineers, session musicians, writers, etc)?
Absolutely! I have a large network of session musicians and engineers that I work with on projects, and I’m always happy to work with new musicians as well.
Q. How do you handle revisions?
I offer unlimited revisions at no extra cost within 30 days of delivery of my first production draft. I find it’s the best way to ensure a stress-free process that’s truly collaborative, while also protecting my own time.
Q. Do you do work-for-hire or royalty splits?
The vast majority of my work is work-for-hire. I charge a flat rate per project that will not change based on time spent, revisions, performance metrics, etc.
On occasion, I use a royalty split model in addition to an upfront fee where I take a small percentage of the master, but only after you recoup my production fee. In other words, you make 100% of profits until you recoup the money you spent producing the song, then only after I will get a small percentage (usually 10-20%) of future profits.
If we end up including splits, this is something we’ll discuss and agree upon upfront—no surprises!
Q. What do I need to get started?
Probably less than you think! Either a demo of the song you want to work on, or simply a link to your previous music if you’re looking to co-write or build catalogue together.
And to be clear, a demo doesn’t need to be fancy—it can be as simple as a voice memo (but of course I’d love to hear a more produced version if you have one).
Just click the “get started” button anywhere on this page and you’ll find a simple and quick form to fill out with all the information I need.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
