— The Zodlounge Team
About us...
zodlounge is a music production company — dedicated to providing an inspiring musical environment where artists can imagine, explore, and create music of influence. While based in Nashville, their arms have extended to work for artists, writers, and publishers from both coasts as well as into Europe.
zodlounge is made of long time friends/musicians — Todd Shay, Tom Michael and Brett Vargason. They cut their teeth touring the states with several Nashville artists, and eventually found themselves writing, arranging and touring with the gold-selling band Sonicflood. After extensive touring, their passion for music and love of people caused them to rethink their focus. In the early 2000’s Zodlounge was born.
zodlounge has experience — Their reputation quickly spread internationally and became a favorite amongst writers, publishers, and industry leaders for producing pop, rock, country, and R & B. In addition to their direct industry work, zodlounge continues to produce and record custom records for artists of influence.
zodlounge is interested in working with great new talent — Whether it’s writing, producing, or both zodlounge is looking forward to partnering with you and making your next project an awesome experience.
Quotes...
“The first song I ever recorded with Zodlounge became a #1 hit... Working with Zodlounge has been the most musically fulfilling and genuinely joyous experience of my music career.”
— Ilene Angel
Songwriter (#1 Emily Osment 6 weeks, 12 weeks in top ten)
“In all my years of recording I have never been with a team that makes you feel as comfortable as Zod, and, at the same time, deliver a product that is both musically and sonically beyond what you expected. The extra perk you'll receive from the experience is a friendship that will last a lifetime!”
— J. Jaszcz (Yosh)
Producer/Engineer (Grammy Winning Producer/Engineer- Kirk Franklin, Wynonna, Ledisi)
“For me, any production team is only as good as they are good individual musicians. Zodlounge is not a prefab, cut & paste programming facility... It's a LIVE music production shop. As a songwriter & record producer, publisher and developer of young unsigned artists I can't always keep my thumb on every downbeat in my musical life so I have to have a crew I can trust when I absolutely have to give up some control. Whether I'm working on an indie record, the constant moving target of film & tv or a major artist on a major label... I trust Zodlounge with my music!”
— Trey Bruce
Producer/Engineer (Emmy winning songwriter/producer... Trace Adkins, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes)
