About Kyle

"This is some of the best production that I’ve heard on an independent release. Kyle Mann should be in high demand as a producer after people hear this album. If you are a metal group in Nashville looking for a ‘knob-twister’ that can deliver the goods, you’d be crazy to not consider Mann the man for the job."
-Chris Czynszak (from Destroy by Design CD review at NashvilleRock.net)

 

Hi, my name is Kyle. That's my nose in the picture to the right. I am a producer/recording engineer hailing (HAIL!) from Nashville, TN. I've worked with artists from all over the country on projects ranging from bluegrass to rock to metal and just about everything in-between.

Please have a look around my website and listen to some mp3 samples of my work. And if you have any questions, feel free to email me at kyle(at)kylemann.com.

News & Updates

6/11/2008
Since my last update...

October...
Went Back into the studio with Paper Rival.

November...
More vocals with Richie McDonald. Recorded a track with Travis Howard for upcoming film, "Pretty Ugly People".

December...
Spent the beginning of December at Modernist Movement Studios assisting Brian Virtue on Autovaughn's new EP, "The Cycles". I made a gingerbread house.
Did some demos with Frank Myers, and then finished off the year with some ADAT transfers for local rocker J.Paul. And then of course, there's Christmas... I love Christmas.

January and February were kind of slow. There were a bunch of songwriter demos, I did a track with Cowboy Troy for TNA wrestling, and I served on an advisory board for the International Academy of Design and Technology.

March...
Did a Demo for the Pussycat Dolls. Did some work for Tommy Harden over at Starstruck on songs he's pitching to Kelly Clarkson. While I was there, I saw my friend Jerry who happened to be in one of the other studios recording drums for Michelle Branch. I also started pre-production with one of Nashville's great rock bands, Hunted By Angels.

April...
The month started off with demos for Tommy Lee James and recording drums for a new full length by Gene Hadley (formerly of HARD KNOX!). Then I started a record with Country-guitarist, Jeff Garris and began mixing an EP for local emo/rock group, The Twilight Drive. And finally, there were sessions with Danielle Peck and Swedish pop-star, Jill Johnson. Oh, and I also started pre-production on some new tracks for Patience.

May...
More sessions with Jill Johnson. More work on Jeff Garris' record. Work began on Lisa Nemzo's record. Did some demos for Cyndi Thomson. Went to Platinum Lab Studios to track drums for Patience's new project (see their MySpace page for video). Took a much-needed break and went to Florida. Oh, and Richie McDonald decided to track a couple more songs for his record, so we went back into the studio again...

June...
Well so far June has been recording guitars with Patience and more recording with Lisa Nemzo. On June 3rd, both Paper Rival's record, Dialog, and Richie McDonald's inspirational record, I Turn to You, were released. I am proud of both. You should pick them up. Oh, and I was an extra in the Hannah Montana movie. Yay.

9/16/2007
Wow. I haven't updated since forever ago. So here's what's been going on...

In June, I did full-length records for acoustic-guitarist, Jeremy Wheat, as well as J?germeister Battle of the Bands-winners, Sally Jayne. I also tracked the vocals for Richie McDonald's upcoming solo record.

July saw the release of Paper Rival's EP. I engineered a track for Cowboy Troy and Lil Jon. And Born Empty stopped in to record some drums for demos.

In August, Patience released their EP, and I got to engineer for producer, Tommy Lee James on the new Cyndi Thomson record.

So far this month, I've done some more sessions with Richie McDonald for a Christmas record. I did a song with Caroline Cutbirth for producer Victoria Shaw, and on Thursday, September 20th, I'll be at 3rd and Lindsley as one of the judges for Discmakers Independent Music World Series. (Doors open at 8pm. You should come.)
