Bio
Vancouver Music Producer
“As far back as I can remember, music has been a huge part of my life. I was a drummer as soon as I could swing my arms… Banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons until the age of 4, where I got my first practice pad set. My dad was a touring musician back then, so there was always a basement with a full setup of instruments.”
The journey was only beginning. King obsessively took up many instruments to a proficient level before singing and fronting his own projects. Teaming up with LSR studios early on, he took on an engineering and producer role where he caught the recording bug for good and hasn’t looked back. He’s since built his 5 room studio, accumulating gear while always increasing his studio chops with an insatiable quest for music knowledge both on the creative and technical sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vancouver Recording, Mixing, and Mastering Services
If you have any questions about the recording process or scheduling, please contact Jay at info@kingsdenstudios.com or call 778-896-8731. The goal is to make your song making an enjoyable, comfortable and fun experience at the King’s Den!
Whether you are seasoned in the studio or new to the whole experience, you may have some questions before you choose your producer/engineer. After all, it’s your art and you want your songs sounding as great as they can. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’ll take them even higher as this has been the case for every song I’ve ever worked on.
Here are a few questions I have answered but of course don’t hesitate to email or call.
How long does it take to record and how much is this going to cost me?
- Genre
- Instrumentation
- Live playing vs. Programmed
- Editing involved
- Preparation vs. Writing in studio
- Song length and amount of songs
The big one would probably be your overall vision for the song/album. Depending on your budget/time constraints etc… Are you looking for something of “demo” quality or very polished and radio ready??
A “demo” or “live off the floor” can be recorded and done in 1-3 days whereas a polished radio ready song can take a bit longer. I can work on an hourly or a per song or per project basis. Sometimes this is the best route as you can relax knowing you’re song(s) will get the finest treatment without worrying about the clock all day.
Do you offer package deals?
I am a singer/songwriter/rapper with lyrics. Can you provide me with the music?
Having sold multiple CD’s and digital singles, worldwide radio airplay and a few songwriting awards under my belt, you are most definitely in good hands.
I also sell instrumentals and beats here, if you are out of the Vancouver area.
Do you have a “specialty” or “preference” when it comes to genre?
Do you offer instrumentals & beats?
Do you offer mixing and mastering services?
