Hey guys, still me [Shep] here.

I’ve got a few studio sessions under my collar now.

I was wondering if I should release my new track under my real name, or use something with more bite? Too bad ‘Gnarles Barkley’ and ‘lil bow wow’ are already taken.

Open to suggestions.

HELLO everyone! My name is Shep, and I’m new around here.

Mostly, I hang out at the ‘Unbound By Sound Farm Studio’, but today my mom brought me to the City Studio to sniff them out. Got to meet my first famous person (other than my Pa 🐾 , of course).

If you’re coming to one of the workshop days this weekend, I’ll be around to greet you when you arrive and make you feel welcome.

I’m hoping to do a little on this account (with mom’s help, because she has opposable thumbs). At least until dad puts his paw down.

Congratulations to our guy, for winning the 2024 Pop Recording of the Year at the !!

Dempsey wrote, recorded, & produced this incredible song, playing every instrument on the record himself. In our (perhaps biased) opinion, the lyrics are nothing short of Promethean—genius and deeply inspirational. “Couple Minutes” was mixed by ’s Trey Mills.

If you are looking for recording, production and/or mixing -check in on these guys located in Calgary’s .yyc building!

This week’s Calgary Arts Development grant announcements remind us that the artistic journey is full of both triumphs and trials. Whether you received a grant or not, remember this: true greatness isn’t determined by committees or awards. It’s forged through passion, perseverance, and dedication. 🌟

Take Leonard Cohen, for example. Cohen’s journey to success wasn’t immediate. His debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, was released in 1967, but it didn’t make a significant impact right away. He faced numerous rejections and struggled to find his audience. It wasn’t until his second album, Songs from a Room, in 1969—when Cohen was 33 years old—that he began to see substantial success.

Consider also B.B. King, whose rise to fame was marked by significant struggle. Born in 1925, King spent years working as a sharecropper and playing in small clubs before his breakthrough. Despite his talent, he faced considerable obstacles, including financial hardship and limited opportunities. It wasn’t until he was in his early 40s, around the mid-1960s, that B.B. King achieved widespread recognition with hits like “The Thrill Is Gone.” Now imagine if B.B. had given up! 🎤🎸

And then there is one of our favourites, Charles Bradley, who was discovered by the Daptone Records label in his early 60s. Bradley’s debut album, No Time for Dreaming, was released in 2011, when he was 62 years old. His powerful voice and emotional performances resonated deeply with audiences, proving that remarkable achievements can come later in life. 🌟

To those of you who didn’t receive grants this time, remember that investing in your own career can be the first step toward making things happen. At Unbound By Sound, we’re here to support you and help you move forward. Whether you need a producer, a recording space, mixing, advice, or just a space to nurture your craft, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s work together to bring your music to life.

Story time:

During the recent cold snap, we had our work cut out for us on the farm to ensure all of our many animals were staying warm (or at least not suffering).

We had the dogs and 2 of our 5 cats inside at night. My husband [Trey] had heat lamps and homemade hot water bottles for the chickens in the coop, and we put a heat lamp in the Quonset for our male cats.

I was joking to Trey that the cats didn’t even appreciate our efforts, and that they probably thought it was their own genius finding the warm spot under the lamp (not knowing we put it there for them, in the cold).

Without missing a beat, Trey said… “it’s like us, with God”.

How often we credit ourselves for what is God’s providence?

Hope you all survived the cold snap!

God bless.

Who We Are!

Unbound by Sound is a full service music industry organization that grows careers from the basement to arenas. We specialize in music production, recording, mixing, mastering, grants & funding, marketing, audience campaign plans, project management, and music business education. We make world class recordings, and we are also able to help market those recordings.

We have written, produced and mixed several top 40 radio hits, garnered millions of streams, and additionally have an elaborate history of successfully mentoring artists such as Grammy winner Melanie Fiona, MTV host and Juno nominated singer Nicole Holness, and Forest Blakk, recent signing to Atlantic Records, NYC.

Historically, Canadian Artists had to move to LA or NYC to find international success, but now many are punching way above their weight [in the music industry] while maintaining a home base in Canada.
