About Me


I have just joined the Twitter Revolution... dunno really how to use it.... But come and join me (and maybe you can teach me how to use it) ;-) www.twitter.com/AdrienneAiken
In brief, Adrienne has been producing artists for over 10 years, both signed and new emerging.
Her credits show only a tiny slice of her abilities as a producer. As a rare breed in production (female) AD has an amazing empathy to the needs of artists and their music, but that doesn’t stop her having an aggressive approach to producing great tracks.
As a keyboardist herself, and having composed, arranged and produced many tracks for tv and commercials, AD has a natural ability for arrangement and orchestration. In the past, having worked as a backing vocalist, she also is a great vocal arranger, and knows how to coax the best performances from singers.
Her range has varied from rock to pop with some blues,r&b and even opera in between. An extremely creative producer/writer/programmer/engineer with an excellent ear for the commercial, she pushes artists hard.
Her main goal for each project is to capture and develop the essence and vitality of the band/artist and endeavour to take the tracks and the artist to their best potential.
Some quotes from artists produced by AD:
“Very cool, very pro… genius” - John Graham Leslie
“Fantastic, Excellent, Brilliant result!!! 10/10” - The Code
“Great vibe, and great capture of the band. AD’s a legend” - Helium Soul
And from world class producer, Tony Visconti:"You have the facility and the talent and I listened to a few things that sound amazing. "
