About Me

"The Difference" - Co-written by David Baker
David Baker • Producer | Songwriter | A&R
I am a music producer, a songwriter and work A&R for Chamberlain Records, developing artists for the label.
Feel free to send me a link to your music or to inquire about working on a project. I listen to EVERYTHING that is sent my way. I'm ALWAYS looking for new artists to work with.
I am currently working out of Los Angeles, CA at Killingsworth Recording Company.
With remarkable control rooms and pre-production facilities, Killingsworth has humbly established itself as one of the top studios in the country. The studios offer incredible sounding rooms, state of the art gear, great comfort plus unique custom equipment. At Killingsworth, we are truly devoted to giving the artist whatever is needed to make the best recording possible.
I have a distinct ear for arranging, songwriting and engineering. I am driven to get the best possible performance out of the artist and create dynamic songs that make statements. With attention to every detail, I am focused solely on making both the songs and the recordings the best they can possibly be.
Rock,
-Baker

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

SERIOUS artists that are DRIVEN, FOCUSED, have GOALS, are DEDICATED and truly want a great recording. It is far too competitive out there to settle for less.
