Joel Jacks Studios Music production is what I do. From the conception of a new melody idea to the delivery of a final mix I love the process of creating music.

When I was fourteen years old I began experimenting with recording equipment and production and have never looked back. My first studio was a converted room in my parent's basement that I built when I was in high school. I surrounded myself with whatever recording equipment I could get my hands on in those days and spent countless hours immersed in music and recording. I spend the years that follo

wed in a string of small cramped recording rooms that never really gave me the opportunity to create music with people the way I wanted to. I believe the vibe and feel of a studio is critical to an artist's creative freedom and I wanted a one-of-a-kind studio where the serenity of the space was a central part of the blueprint. When I finally had the opportunity to build my own recording studio in 2004 I asked renown studio designer Chris Pelonis to head the design. He completely understood the science behind the design as well as the feel of the atmosphere I was trying to create. Since then I've had the opportunity to collaborate with artists from all over the country producing music with many exceptional songwriters and bands. I believe an artist's best work always lies ahead of them but that to find their true voice requires an honest reach deep into their own creative genius with the right people in the right place at the right time. Creating great music is a unique process and often a very personal journey for an artist. I love serving as a guide for artists willing to take the journey in search of their true voice. That is what I do.

I had such a great time recording eighteen songs with Black Barrel and the Bad Men recently! They are a crazy-talented group of guys who make catchy amazing music and I’m so happy that their first single from the new project has just been released! Go check them out!

I want to share a few moments from a recent day of filming here at the studio for an upcoming Olivia Newton-John documentary. The brilliant crew from This Machine did an amazing job interviewing Steve Real about his years with Olivia and the final recording sessions she did here with us. It was a beautiful and touching day remembering our friend Olivia and the incredible musical legacy she left behind. I’m honored to share a part in her story being told.

Liberty🗽comes out this Friday -- with two very special guests. It still makes me shake my head in disbelief, but the great and are singing background vocals on this track. I am so immensely proud to hear their voices singing these parts (also you know it's good, when Jan Crosby bolts up beaming and says "that was it!". I would never have known when I wrote this, way back in 2014 (for a gig at !), that these heroes would be beckoning me forward in the outro singing "a city takes me by storm". Here are a couple bts clips of us tracking and learning the parts. You can pre-save the song now on your preferred listening platform - link in my bio.
