More Ear Candy
So, your song is all baked and almost release ready but it’s missing a little something…
Like sprinkles on ice cream, ear candy elevates a track by creating unexpected yet exciting moments that give depth to the production and arrangement.

Get your production sweet tooth on!

In this session, Little Monarch will show you her tips and tricks on how to nail that dusty vinyl vibe from both a songwriting and production perspective.
