KENNY MCWILLIAMS
Over the last six years Kenny Mcwilliams has helped a diverse group of bands and solo artists across the Southeast produce records that highlight their strengths and individualities as musicians. What began as an interest in production and sound engineering has now turned into a professionally outfitted studio that is proud to host some of the most talented artists in the region. Kenny strives to retain the artistic integrity of each of his clients while also experimenting with new approaches and techniques to the recording process. He is a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys collaborating with each artist on musical concepts, offering a wide-range of production options, and taking the time to find out what kind of recording process will best suit the project at hand.
“As a former client and now a good friend of Kenny’s, I can honestly say that his ability to quickly visualize what is most valuable about the music and bring it to the forefront of the project in a distinctive mode is exceptional. He is also a wonderful person to be around, which to be honest, can mean everything to a process as sensitive as recording your own music.” ~ Nathan Poole, guitarist for Austin Crane
"We wanted to record a huge gigantic epic album. Who doesn't? We had extremely lofty goals, some very strange and difficult obstacles, and an abnormally strong vision of what we wanted. I can honestly say that if we hadn't ended up at Archer Avenue Studio with Kenny McWilliams as the hub of our madness, that we would not have come close to reaching our potential. It's one thing to have a strong vision, and quite another to turn that vision into audible reality. Without Kenny - the vision would still be swirling in our heads. His expertise, patience, vast technical knowledge, finely tuned super human ears, completely open mind and immense creativity added something to our project that I can not even begin to put a value on. I can say that what we paid was not nearly enough. Not even close. And if that weren't enough - Kenny is a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed the long hours of hard work with him more than I can say. We all want to work with the very best. When the very best are also good people, that's a pretty large bonus". ~ Angelo Gianni, Treadmill Trackstar
"Recording with Kenny at Archer Avenue Studio for "Place at the Table" encouraged us towards making a record that we are extremely happy with on all levels. In addition to being excellent at his craft, Kenny is a competent and experienced musician who can help artists realize and accomplish their vision for any style of recording. He is invested in his work and it shows. This was true for us to the extent that I would consider him a fifth member on the album. After recording two very different records in scope and sound with Kenny, I would certainly recommend him to anyone". ~ Austin Crane
My band recorded with Kenny this summer. From the very first meeting he understood our sound and our purpose for the music. His ear for music, creativity, knowledge of protools, and all that is off the charts. When we were done with the record it was like we had all been friends for years. I cannot say enough good stuff about Kenny. I had expectations in my mind and Kenny blew them all out of the water. Not only am i looking forward to recording with him again, I am telling everyone i know about him. ~ Josh Ridings, Josh Ridings Band
