Music Production
Stevan Pippin, (Steve, or "Pip" to friends), an award-winning veteran of Nashville's premier songwriting community, has taken what he calls a step forward...not a giant step; simply the next logical step. Many songwriters merely dream of becoming great producers, but Steve has recently directed his talents and energies toward that end, after years of having the privilege of working with great studio masters like Chips Moman, Larry Butler, Billy Sherrill, Johnny Slate, Larry Henley, Bob Montgomery, Doug Johnson, and so many more. Steve has written songs for, or worked on the recording projects of many of Nashville's music legends as a musician or singer. (See: "Professional Credits"
Over the years, Steve has honed his studio skills by producing his own publishing demos, (which number in the hundreds) while under contract to Warner Brothers, House Of Gold Music, Sony Tree/ATV and EMI Music. He has also produced numerous specialty projects and countless radio and television commercials as owner/executive producer of an independent production company. For Steve, chances for major label and artist production have always been present, but he has intentionally steered away from those opportunities until recently. What prompts his entrance onto the production scene now? In his words:
" I've always had a specific vision of where I wanted to be in terms of my professional growth when I made the decision to go into full time production. I wanted to make sure that before I presumed to direct singers , musicians and audio engineers in a high level recording environment, that I had walked through every step of what they experience during the process. I firmly believe that a great producer needs a depth of understanding of each of the recording elements in order to make the connections necessary to get the absolute best product. In a nutshell, I'm there now. I've done it all; I've been the writer, the artist, the background singer, the session musician, the audio engineer, and the producer; and driving it all is my all-consuming passion, the music. I love making great music."
* TESTIMONIALS: What some key people have to say:
“Stevan has what other people wish they had: that rare and valuable combination of business acumen and artistry, all conducted with impeccable ethics. On every project I have had the pleasure of working with him, and on every level, he delivers beyond expectation. I know I’m writing in broad strokes here but to get into specifics about Stevan’s talents and capabilities would require a tome. If you’re considering working with Mr. Pippin, just go ahead and reward yourself by actually doing it.”
