For those who know Terry Tompkins, you know that he is the life of the party. And that party lasted nearly 20 years as Terry co-founded Eggplant LF and most recently, Pop Sound.

We are sad to say that Terry has retired from Pop Sound. We will miss him dearly but cherish the years weā€™ve worked together. We are indebted to him for his ability to connect with clients through his smile, wit and endless charm. We will continue carrying on the Pop Sound legacy by enacting his sense of kindness and consideration for clients and coworkers alike. We wish nothing but the best for Terry & Lisa in all your future endeavours.

A sincere thank you TT.
-Steve, Lorenzo & the Pop Sound team.

Cue moment - Work it Out Wombats! šŸŽµ

Writing for kids ages 3 - 6 usually means pianos, xylophones, marimbas, sometimes a ukulele and some light drum kit percussion. But Work it Out Wombats! took the instrumentation palette up a notch by wanting our composers to use home made noises.
In this fun cue youā€™ll hear beatboxing, quirky vocal embellishments and overall just a light and upbeat energy throughout the whole thing!

Music was always a part of Jody Tompkins' life. Starting on the drums at the age of 6, Jody was quickly enamoured by the Pop Punk music that was coming out at the time.Ā 
With Jody's music taste constantly evolving throughout his adolescence, Jody quickly realized it was what he wanted to do with hisĀ life.Ā 

Jody went on to start his own studio business as an engineer working out of the B room at Joao Carvalho Mastering. Using this space to help foster the Toronto Hip Hop scene, from there it quickly became the spot to do your record. Having been on the technical side, JodyĀ wanted to get into more of the creative so he then moved into production and worked with Francesco Yates to release his single Come Over on Warner Records, as well as Maggie Szabo and her record Sail Away.Ā 

Now working with Pop Sound Inc., Jody will continue progressing & writing, producing & mixing high quality music.Ā

Pop Sound looks forward to having the work we do sound even better with them on board!
