LUCAS FOURNIER

Music Producer for Indie Folk/Pop Artists

Hey, lovely to meet ya :)

I’ll save you any 3rd person self-aggrandizing nonsense and take a guess that if you’re here, you probably saw one of my videos on Youtube and you’re interested in working together.

You might already have an idea of what I do, but here’s a quick summary: my name is Lucas Fournier and I’m a music producer for talented, ambitious indie artists.

Through over 5 years producing my own music, I’ve uncovered something of a signature sound - the indie folk leanings of Bon Iver and Novo Amor with a trickle of the otherworldliness of Radiohead, Beach House, and Perfume Genius.

There’s nothing I love more than helping other artists and producers uncover their own signature sound.

Whether you write “singer-songwriter” songs and are struggling to bring them to life with more fleshed-out arrangements, you’re switching genres to something more acoustic-y, or you just want more live instrumentation on your songs, if you make music that sounds like any of the artists I mentioned above, we might have a blast working together.

I offer remote music production and arrangement services for artists all around the world in the indie folk/pop/rock genres.

Continue reading below for a breakdown of how the process works!

HOW IT WORKS

Step 1: Call

  • My process is extremely collaborative, and before starting on any project, I need to get to know you as an artist and as a person. Together we’ll discuss your musical influences and your vision for the song(s) you want to work on together to develop a plan.

Step 2: Sending files

  • Because my service is remote, you’ll be recording your vocals (and maybe other instruments, if desired) either at home or in a studio near you. To get started, typically all I need is a demo recorded to a click with one instrument and a scratch vocal, but if you have a more fully-produced demo, I’m happy to work with that too.

Step 3: Production

  • With everything we discussed in mind, I dive into your project and create an arrangement. During this process I’ll be checking in frequently for feedback to make sure we’re on the right track.

Step 4: Revision

  • The revision stage is incredibly crucial in all remote projects. I offer unlimited revisions at no extra cost. After all, if you don’t absolutely love what I send you, then I haven’t done my job, have I? Written revision notes are great, but I also love doing live revision calls to work through smaller changes. I also don’t believe in gatekeeping and am happy to take you on a tour of my DAW session to give away my secrets :)

Step 5: Mixing & Mastering

  • The finishing touches to make sure everything sounds full, balanced, and competitive with your references in terms of loudness and frequency balance. I mix around 50% of the projects I work on, but also often outsource this step to my amazing team - I’m lucky enough to be friends with some incredible mixing & mastering engineers. If you already work with engineers, I’m more than happy to bring them in on the project!

What people are saying

  • “Oh what a journey it was with Lucas! If I could give it 6 stars then I definitely would! (…) The end result was mind-blowing for me. I didn't expect that to happen and when I now listen to my song's "before" and "after" versions it it literally night and day. (…) And on top of it all Lucas is a super nice guy who makes the whole process so much fun. I absolutely loved it and recommend it to anyone considering!.”

    Michal Jaskulski (OUD)

  • “Working with Lucas was an absolute privilege. He embodies everything you could hope for in a music producer – expertise, collaboration, communication, talent, and creativity. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of our project and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking a truly exceptional music producer.”

    Peter N. Knight

  • "Lucas was so great to work with, and so understanding of my lack of knowledge in the production realm of music. He made my music everything i could have wanted and more!!"

    Reese Gailey

  • “The constant theme in his work is his ability to get at the heart of an idea, and push it past his old limits to find something exciting and new. Every time I work with him there is some fresh surprise that inspires me to do better in my own work. I can't think of what more you could want from a producer.”

    Harley Eblen

  • "I couldn't recommend Lucas enough, his love and enthusiasm for what he does is magnetic. He invests all of himself into his work and it pays off! Overall incredible experience and can't wait to work on more music with Lucas!"

    Sarah-Michelle Petit

  • "Lucas is incredible to work with - I discovered him on YouTube actually and reached out to which he quickly replied and we began to go back and forth. Lots of fun and everything I told him or songs I sent him he immediately had a sense of what I wanted. That's rare - especially in this genre. Looking forward to many more creative collaborations."

    Jonny Padrnos (Ex Alio)

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Lucas on Sarah-Michelle Petit’s Storylines EP and I can’t say enough things about the experience (go listen to it and you’ll understand why). Lucas is a fantastic producer with a great sensibility for the artists vision and what the song needs."

    Eliott Glinn

  • "There isn't enough space to truly review how incredible Lucas is. As a multi-instrumentalist, he's an incredible asset to get your simple iPhone raw demo of an idea to a masterpiece. (...) Lucas was the missing link to bringing my songs to life in a direction I never even anticipated."
