Episode show notes:
I sat down with Wayne Coulson, a producer, engineer and musician from England.

Wayne primarily works with Indie Rock and Indie Pop artists and frequently releases his own music. He also joined the team here at theselfrecordingband.com in 2022, where he is editing and mixing our podcast, as well as creating content for our social media accounts and our coaching program.

Ever since we first met in 2021, Wayne has significantly improved his audio skills and deepened his understanding of the entire process of creating records.

His growth has made him an indispensable asset to our work here.

So it’s about time to introduce him to you and tell his story.

He does everything himself: Writing, arranging, producing, engineering, performing (every instrument & vocal), editing, mixing, mastering.

Wayne is an amazingly talented musician. He plays guitar and releases indie/alt rock, as well as lofi/indie pop songs under his artist name "Glam Hock". So he knows both sides of the studio window very well and speaks the same language as the musicians he's working with.

When he joined the Self-Recording Syndicate it was clear that he was very talented and passionate. But he also had some blind spots and was lacking good systems and processes to get truly amazing results consistently and with confidence.

He also wanted to start his studio business, get into creating content and find more artists to work with. After all, he wanted to make sure that he can keep doing this for a long time. Because he loves it.

Wayne is a rather quiet, relaxed and very kind person, which makes working with him incredibly easy and enjoyable. But the passion he has for music and audio comes through in everything he says and does.

And because Wayne is an action taker with a clear vision and dream, he immediately joined our coaching program after we had a conversation about it.

He wanted a new perspective, real pro tips from someone actively working in this industry, insights into how to run a studio, guidance and feedback, as well as a community of dedicated people to learn from.

He offers a perfect package to bands and artists that are looking for a unique, dirty and vibey aesthetic and don't want to sound like everyone else.

Super stoked to share Wayne's story with you!

Let's go!
