About Me

TUNE IN FOR *ZOODIO TUESDAYS LIVE!* 9 pm PST Every Tuesday Night! LIVE WEBCAMMED RECORDING STUDIO! Showcasing talent, personalities, Music, Comedy, Vancity, Island Stylz................. From Cortes Island BC, growing up in a small community, music became the main focus in my life at a very young age. I started off playing the drums when I was six. Took lessons for several years and also learned African and Middle Eastern hand drumming. Picked up the bass for a few years aswell. At twelve I started a punk rock band called “The Skateboard 4”, I played Drums. Around the age of 14 I started to grow an interest in electronic music. So I bought some turntables. Throughout high school throwing shows and DJing was my main interest. By graduation I was getting tired of playing other peoples music, I wanted to learn more about music production. I decided to move to Vancouver and go to Art School (The Center for Digital Imaging and Sound). There I studied Analogue/Digital Recording, Protools/Logic/Reason, Midi Sequencing, Music Business, Music Theory, Chart Reading, Chart Arranging, Improvisational Keyboarding, Composing for Picture, and Post Production. I graduated with my Masters. After graduating I interned at Greenhouse Studios and then went on working there in the capacity of an Engineer/Producer. Check out my credit list. Since then I have also started my own production company, opened a new studio and have worked out of several top studios here in Vancouver. Howells Music Productions facilitates many services including Producing, Engineering, Digital Editing, Artist Development and Artist Management. Currently I'm working on an EP for a new group called "BENCH POETS".Credits: Jamie Kennedy (S), Stu Stone (S), Cory Lee (E), Hot Hot Heat (S), Elicit (E), Bless (E), Nobel (E), Burn Hollywood Burn (E), Metaforezt (E), NSR (S), Alberta’s Hunter (E, M), Karen Fowlie (S), Shawn Hoolkoff (E, M, Co-P), A Certain Something (E, M), Mr. Completely (P, E), Joachim Joe Amouzou (S), BaldyLoc (E), Lisa Deacon (E), Howard Fix (S), Dal Dil Vog (S), Dem Block Boys (E), Belle Bete (E), All Purpose (S), Joe Kidd (E) and many more...Producer (P) Engineer (E) Mixer (M) Second Engineer (S)

My Interests

Over the past four years I've been getting back to my roots, working with mostly top 40 style genres including Rock, Hip Hop and Folk. The ideal band or solo artist I would like to produce is one that is willing to incorporate many genres. I believe the future of popular music is fusion. I have a saying, “95% of every genre is crap, so why not take the cream of several genres to create a new sound."

I'd like to meet:
