Nico Franc

Hey there,

I’ve wanted to open my space to you for a very long time and that time has finally come! I am so excited to make us some tea and connect over producing songs together. I’m humbly offering studio time with me to help breathe your songs into life, whether that be writing, production, whatever it comes to, I’m here for all of it. 

I just want to express my gratefulness that you’ve even considered coming to me to work on your project. It takes a whole lot of trust to even inquire about working together and that gesture means the world. I am always willing to work with people so please know these numbers aren’t set in stone, but will be thoroughly explained in the following why they are the way they are. Complete transparency is my highest goal with everything in my work and I want my clients to know exactly what they’re paying for. 

I believe that time is our greatest resource and the idea of a session price came into play for me by learning that no song is created chronologically equal. Sometimes songs can take one session and sometimes they can take ten. Because of that uncertainty, I want to prevent a circumstance where I feel like I’ve spent more time than I’ve been compensated for, or be in a position where an artist feels like they’ve been overcharged because of how little time we spent working on a record (even though they LOVE the product). Sometimes it just works and is effortless. Sometimes it takes a while. There’s no knowing until you’re in it.
