Great Music Starts With Great Songs

At Better From Here Music, we believe that great music begins with a great song, so it is a part of our mission to support songwriters. Songwriting is technically music and lyrics, but songwriters (and music fans) know that it is so much more than that. Great songs play a vital role in culture and in the lives of people, and they are also therapeutic to the artists making them. Sharing through lyrics is learning and healing. New, inspired music is refreshing so at Better From Here Music our goal is to have a far and penetrating reach. In past decades, great songs used to play a bigger role in modern society and Better From Here Music would like to cultivate resources to bring this important element of  connectivity back to people's everyday lives. For more information about songwriting or Better From Here Music services in the area of songwriting, please see the songwriters' page.

 

 

BFHM Production is Exceptional

Music production is the polish that goes on a song (or package it comes in). It requires creativity and problem-solving. Great producers have great ears. At Better From Here Music, we strive to create and support the creation of music that is the best of its kind. We consider trends, sounds, musical genres, style, creativity, art, technical principles like the frequency and stereo spectrum when striving for excellence in our services. We also have a pre-post-production philosophy when it comes to making music (read more about this in on record label tid-bits page) and believe in teaching and investing in artists and their careers.
