MUSIC PRODUCTION
Send us your demo and we'll transform it - we've been doing it since the early 2000s. These days, most professional productions are almost never made in a big room. As a result, we work pretty much entirely remotely.
You can record your vocals or instruments without studio pressure, while James handles arrangement, tracking, editing, mixing and mastering with high end instruments and the best analog and digital gear money can buy. For projects or processes that need it, we can bring a bunch of our gear to you.
Every project is centralised in our JNP Client Portal - featuring a built-in DAW where you can record vocals or instruments, comp takes, and export directly to JNP. Studio-quality audio streaming lets you listen in while your production takes shape, plus a free cloud drive and a full discussion and feedback area.
Since opening in 2003, we've worked with many winners of The Voice, Idol, X Factor and countless charting and touring bands and singers from all over the world.

Bespoke Production
PRODUCING FOR BANDS.
Modern professional records aren't just for solo artists. We produce for bands worldwide using a process refined over two decades.
We understand that for a band, the chemistry and the performance are everything. That's why we don't just ship you a mic and hope for the best. We handle the heavy lifting of pre-production online, then we come to you.
By recording in a space where you feel comfortable, we capture the energy that makes your band unique. Then we bring everything back to our high-end system for a mix and master that holds its own against any major label release.
The Network
GREAT PLAYERS.
GREAT PEOPLE.
Behind every JNP production is access to a worldwide network of professional session musicians built over two decades in the industry - horn sections, string players, woodwinds, traditional and world instruments, orchestral percussionists and specialist vocalists, spread across every continent.
It's a simple truth that gets lost in conversations about studios and gear: great records have always been made by great people with great ears. The musicians in this network were chosen because they're exceptional at what they do and because they're good communicators, good collaborators, and genuinely invested in the outcome. That combination is rarer than it sounds.
Location has never been the determining factor. A brilliant brass player in LA or a world-class cellist in Brazil can contribute to your record from their own studio while hearing your reference tracks and taking direction in real-time.
This approach brings more to a production than a mediocre player who happens to be able to attend a local session. Communication, taste and commitment are what make the difference.
This is how the best independent music gets made today. The network exists so that your record can have exactly the right players on it.
Session network spanning every corner of the globe
Relationships built through real records, real results
Players chosen for skill, character and communication
Package discount on external session players vs standard rates
"It's never been about where you record. It's about who you record with - and whether they care enough to get it right."

Recording From Home
WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED
Mic & Interface Packs
No microphone? No problem. We keep a selection of recording packs - professional quality microphones paired with high-end interfaces - that can be dropped off locally or shipped directly to you. You record in your own space, on your own time, with professional-grade gear. Return it when you're done.
Gear Advice
Rather own your own setup? We can point you to genuinely excellent mic and interface combinations at extremely reasonable price points - gear that will serve you well for years and record vocals that sit in a mix without drama. No upsells, no brand deals. Just honest advice from someone who's worked with all of it.
Home Acoustic Advice
Recording in an untreated room doesn't have to mean bad results. We can advise on the simplest ways to tame your space - from wardrobe vocal booths to affordable absorption solutions - so your recordings arrive clean, dry and ready to sit beautifully in the production.
All of this is included as part of the client relationship - just ask when you enquire. Get in touch and we'll sort out what you need before a single note is recorded.
