Engineer / Producer

Over 10 years ago LISSA BLU started as a gigging musician on the Brighton circuit and over time has developed a love for engineering, production and songwriting. As an artist herself, she understands the importance of feeling comfortable within a creative space and aims to create that safe space in her own sessions with fellow creatives.

What I Do

Songwriting

I’m very open to collaboration as well as exploring artists’ own songwriting, working together from scratch or to adapt and develop current works.

  • I am a keen songwriter looking to join communities of songwriting camps, sessions and co-write for other artists.

  • If you are interested in collaborating with me, please do get in touch with any ideas you have and we could collaborate!

Tracking

I support artists, bands and musicians by capturing the best takes in a live room. Allowing the artist to perform their most vulnerable self, I use various techniques to work with them using the studio’s equipment to enhance the sound quality.

  • If you don't require a Producer or Engineer for your session but could do with an extra pair of hands, I offer Studio Assisting. I can be booked for the full duration of your session or simply to support set up.

    £15/Hour or £100 for 8 Hours (no VAT).
    Chargeable in 15 minute chunks.

  • Starting off with a great drum sound is the first step in creating your track and one of the most important components to capture. Whether you're looking to record 1 song or an EP/Album, we can work together in creating tand capturing the best drum takes for your music.

    £20/Hour or £150 for 8 Hours (no VAT).
    Chargeable in 15 minute chunks.

  • I am passionate about working with professional vocalists, top liners and lyricists in capturing vocal recordings for both commercial and original work. As a vocalist and songwriter myself, I understand the importance of both the quality of the sound and the take itself. I will work with artists to push and identify their tone to the best of their ability.

    £20/Hour or £150 for 8 Hours (no VAT).
    Chargeable in 15 minute chunks.

  • From Pre-production to the live room, I want to help build the vision you have for your next band project. Using your references, I will use the appropriate techniques and equipment available to capture your band’s sound.

    £20/Hour or £150 for 8 Hours (no VAT).
    Chargeable in 15 minute chunks.

Production

Either 1-1 in-the-box with an artist or simply using time alone, I love to explore my creativity as a producer. By using the artist’s references I tailor my production and bespoke techniques to accommodate and capture their vision.

  • Whether you envision one song, an EP or an album, I would love to help craft your sound with you. I am particularly passionate about creating soulful tracks, in the Neo Soul, RnB, Jazz & HipHop genres.

    £25/Hour (no VAT).
    Chargeable in 15 minute chunks.

Get In Touch

Whilst Lissa has engineered, produced and mixed in a variety of genres, she feels most at home within the worlds of Neo-Soul, Jazz, RnB & Hiphop. Her own songs, which she co-produces alongside Bessi, have made various appearances on BBC Radio including ‘Track of The Day’ on BBC Introducing and ‘Producer’s Pick’ on BBC Radio 1xtra. A lover of a janky beat, phat bassline and a good eye for detail, she’s excited to work and collaborate with like minded creatives at South Lanes Studios.
