Testimonials

I’ve worked in practically every genre with some of the largest names in the industry (James Taylor, The Band Perry, Josh Garrels, etc…), helped clients land prominent TV spots (MTV, CBS Evening News, Parks and Recreation, New Girl, etc...), and understand what goes into being a successful artist. If you’re looking to take your music to the next level, let’s talk!

“Steven did an incredible job producing my album! He totally embraced the vision I had for it, gave me great input on ways I could make it even better, and surrounded me with the right musicians and tools to finally make the album I wanted.”

Jake Schlegel

“I had a blast working with Steven! I love the way my songs and recordings turned out. I’ve received nothing but great feedback on the finished product, and that’s in no small way a result of working with Steven!”

Chris Wilson

“When I first met Steven, I confessed how I had not enjoyed my past studio recording experiences. Steven has completely changed all that! My band enjoyed every moment with him and always felt comfortable and respected. I am more than happy to recommend HEREAFTER to you (especially if you’ve had less than great prior experiences)!”
