Pop
Crispy clear vocals, bass that moves the club, and mastering that jumps off the speaker. Pop has one of the most elusive and expensive sounds that was previously only available to the most elite major-label artists.
When you trust us with your song, this sound can be yours without the major label budget.
Country
If you're looking for that Country Top 40 sound or those timeless classics you grew up hearing, we have you covered. We are based in the heart of Nashville and work at all levels of the industry here.
Whether you’re on a major label or just a songwriter looking to cut some demos, we have THE network of top “A-List” players and studios to make your records stand out.
Country Rap
It’s got its own lane….
Genre blending has always been one of our favorite challenges an artist can bring. What started as a niche section of hip/hop has grown into its own genre.
Scorched Earth has been proud to help pioneer this rapidly growing movement with artists such as Struggle Jennings (the first of his kind), Jelly Roll, and Colt Ford.
Rap/Hip-Hop
Nashville has a surprisingly strong independent rap/hip-hop scene. Alongside up and coming local artists, we’ve worked with major icons like Mixmaster Mike, DJ Paul, DJ Battlecat, Bubba Sparxxx, Yelawolf, and Young Buck.
Scorched Earth is one of the few production companies that offers top tier services tailored to Hip-Hop artists here in Nashville
Rock
Wailing solos, epic guitar tones, and thundering drum sounds; we know what rock gods crave. We combine cutting edge recording technology with traditional recording techniques handed down by the greatest producers in the genre.
Recording as a band can be an epic undertaking, you want someone at the helm who knows the best rooms in town for bands, and can deliver the extra attention to detail you need.
Alternative/Indi
Not every artist fits into a box. Our wide range of experience allows us to pull the best of all worlds together, and we’ve been blessed with bringing to life some incredibly unique records.
If you’re looking to push the boundaries (or flat out break them), we wanna come along for the ride!
