I’m diverse Pharell type producer that’s also a Guitarist/Songwriter. I’m good with both midi and musical instruments. I've played bass and guitar in bands. I’ve produced music for Rock, R & B and Hip Hop cats.

I'm currently looking to get a paying gig as a songwriter, producer or as both; but will also do tracks for free for talented artists. I have a good ear for music and listen to many styles. See more about me at http://www.myspace.com/troyhendricks

Working With Others

How I Work:

I prefer working with artists that can navigate through many styles of music, and have their feet loosely planted in a particular style. I find that these type of individuals are always quicker on the draw vs. one dimensional artists.

I haven't reached my peak yet and my masterpiece will be something that will piss people off for breaking many rules.

Experience:

I rather let a lawyer look over the paperwork and then decide if I want to work by the hour or for profit from the sale of my work; or a combination of both.

Equipment:

Acoustic Guitars, Bass, Electric Guitars, Microphone, Amps, Reason, Pro Tools, Compressors, Preamps

Hi
I really like your Criminal remix. Has a great sound and a good vibe. Depending of what I've heard it should have been in the first five remixes.
That's all man keep going...

Deacon! Nice work man, looking forward to hearing more. Best wishes on Criminal, you got my vote.

Jonathan Reese wrote on November 17, 2008:

You got some real skills. I wonder what you would have come with if you had more time to work on the track. I really love the music, but I don't feel it for "Criminal". I like your swag though, and judging by the boards, you have been on your grind HARD. That deserves my vote by itself. BTW, Freaky Deek is sick.

Mike Mudd wrote on November 16, 2008:

Me and my band love your Freeky Deek song! The part where the singer is going off is hilarious... Its a great song too and it sounds as professional as you can get. Good job.
