Pictures of the inside and outside of the Renegade Music Studio
Renegade Music is a private production studio.
Long time performing songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and band leader, Gerry Griffin has decades of experience in the fields of recording, production and arrangement from all the possible perspectives. He has written, arranged and recorded his own material throughout his 40 year career and worked as a sideman or guest artist on countless recording projects.
He now has a custom-built a production studio and operates under the name of Renegade Music. It was built primarily to do his own projects and soundtracks; however, he does produce projects for other artists. (Renegade Music is also a co-operative of the artists who have had him produce their records.)
If you are interested in production services, telephone Gerry or send an email to ggriffin@cyberus.ca. Please read the artist info page first.
Each project he has completed in his career has certain characteristics: musicality, integrity, sonic quality, originality and professionalism. Now that he has made the inevitable move to production, he maintains those same characteristics in every project he undertakes. His concentration remains on the overall goal which has always been to make the song shine.
His strengths are arrangement and recording, particularily acoustic instruments and drums.
