Featured Artist: 2nd place in Broadjam 6-Pack Competition!

Doug Amell is a songwriter from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada who markets his music to TV & film. He approached Sundown Sessions wanting to record one of his new songs for some new music shopping opportunities. Asked why he picked Sundown Sessions to produce his song he responded, “I have worked with some other online studios before and have been pretty happy with what I had, but I read something about Sundown Sessions’ producer, Chris, and how great his ear was and how much he really cared about music. So I sent down a scratch track for a song that I had.” The song he sent to Sundown Sessions was called “The Sun Will Shine”, and Doug asked for it to be produced in a modern alt-pop style which he thought would be a good approach for the song.

Going through the production process with Chris, Doug had this to say, “From the suggestions Chris made, it was obvious he listens to the song on many deep levels and almost takes it on as his own song. He also wasn’t just trying to be a “yes man” to whatever the client wants although he was very attentive to what my needs and desires were. But what I really liked was that he gave his opinion in a respectful manner and he wasn’t going to settle for good enough.”

After Doug got the final master back, he was also in time to enter it to the 2015 International Broadjam 6-Pack Finals Songwriting Competition. A few weeks later he emailed to let us know that out of all the competition song entries from around the world, he came in 2nd place!! We are elated to have been part of his incredible success. Asked if he plans to work with Sundown Sessions again in the future, Doug said “Chris definitely wanted to make sure he blew my socks off, and he absolutely did that. I was so happy with the finished production of my song. I’ll definitely be using Sundown Sessions again.“
