Brandon J. Bagby
Nashville-based Producer & Songwriter for Christian, Country, Americana, Folk and Worship Artists.
"I help artists turn honest songs into authentic, compelling finished recordings with great production, real musicians, and trusted engineers."
REELS
PRODUCTION & RECORDING
I am a music producer that spends a significant amount of time listening to songs before hitting the record button. One thing that sets me apart from other great producers is that I am not simply "a guy who makes tracks." I am a producer who can hear an arrangement, build out a track, and personally play the parts that best serve the song. Because of my previous career as a studio musician, I end up recording instrumentation on productions. Now, I can't play every instrument under the sun, so I hire other music professionals & engineers to be part of the productions. I firmly believe music is a team sport. I am here to elevate and help the artist win!
Before getting into any production, I would like to know your goals and hopes for your music. I don't dive into just any production. As I previously stated, I spend hours listening through songs before hitting the record button. I want to make sure we have the best songs that are cohesive for your project, understand the audience you want to reach, and help plan for your short term / long term goals. Ultimately and most importantly, before taking on a production, I have to believe in the artist or group I am working with. Understand that I do not work with every group or artist who submits a request to work together.
So what exactly is it that I do?
SONG DEVELOPMENT
Arrangement, songwriting, structure and pre-production.
PRODUCTION & ENGINEERING
From rough demo to finished recording. My production costs vary from project to project. The cost of production projects are definitely discussed up front. My producer advance is typically an "all-in" approach that can encompass:
• pre-production
• programming
• session musician(s)
• session vocalist(s)
• final vocal tracking (vocal editing, vocal comping, & vocal tuning)
• general edits
• studio rental + studio engineer costs
• mixing
• mastering
• contract / legal costs
I have a production team of trusted industry professionals that I work with on a per project basis. My overall goal is to best serve the song.
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
What is your "why"? I can help you figure out what your music should sound like, your imaging and branding, and how to best convey your unique story to your audience. I view music with a visionary mindset. What will the sound be? How will the song(s) speak to the audience? Who is the audience? Visually, how do you, as an artist / group, want to be represented? I spend time building relationships and encouraging the artists / groups that I pour into. If I know people that can help further the vision / goals... I will make introductions and connections. I have connected my artists / groups with trusted graphic designers, photographers, and videographers... even the extent of booking agents and major record labels.

LANDON FORBES
Landon Forbes is an independent Christian artist who lives in North Carolina. In July of 2024, he reached out to Brandon as he was looking for a producer to take on the vision for his music. Landon emailed over a dozen roughly recorded voice memos of song starts... basically the first verse and chorus of each song idea. Brandon heard something very special in one of those songs and helped Landon finish out the songwriting. A few weeks later, "Sticks and Stones," was arranged, produced, mixed, and mastered. The song released just over a year later in January of 2026, becoming Landon's debut release as a Christian artist. The journey didn't end there as there was a lot of work and preparation that needed to be done. All throughout 2025, Brandon worked closely with Landon in the songwriting process, production, artist development, and release strategy of the songs for the next year.
Landon began releasing music as a brand new Christian artist in January of 2026 with his Spotify account beginning at zero monthly listeners. In less than 6 months, he crossed over 100K monthly Spotify listeners with just 4 song releases. By the way, this was not an easy accomplishment... especially for a brand new independent Christian artist. By God's grace, Landon's music has landed on several Spotify editorials, in both mainstream and Christian markets. His songs are also aired on some Christian radio stations... both in the United States and Australia, wildly enough. Landon's sound has a unique blend of pop and folk. It has been amazing to see how God has used his music to reach so many in so many different places. Landon also has a powerful story and testimony to share with the world!
CHURCH FRIENDS
In Spring of 2025, Brandon hired his long time friend, producer / engineer Jay Speight, to engineer vocals for a session with a country artist he was producing. Before the artist arrived to the studio to record his vocals, Jay said, "I've got something you need to hear. I think it's something you and I can finally work on together." Jay proceeded to play a demo that Anna Kate sang on. Then Jay said, "hang on, it gets better. She's got a brother who sings too. His name is Taylor." Jay proceeded to press play on the demo that Taylor sang on. Jay stopped the demo and said, "wait, it gets even better. They have a friend named Kieana. They just made a video for fun and submitted to the hit television series, "America's Got Talent." Jay proceeded to play a roughly recorded video of the three of them singing a song they had written together called, "Take Me Home." After the video ended, Brandon said to Jay, "I think we have a trio! I am in! Let's talk more after the session and figure this thing out!" Weeks later, the group "Church Friends" came to be.
In September 2025, Anna Kate leaked a song on the social media platform, TikTok, shortly after Charlie Kirk's death. The song came form a writing session with Jay Speight, Hannah Mcdonald, Todd Smith of Selah, Anna Tankersley, Taylor Tankersley, Kieana Tindle, and Jeff Tankersely. The song went viral from the TikTok post and the public demanded an official release! In a matter of a couple of weeks, Jay and Brandon worked quickly to finish out the full production. "Walk On," released in late October 2025 and God began opening doors for the group to perform all over the country to spread His name! Having received over 1M overall streams, "Walk On" is still the group's biggest song yet!
EMERSON DAY
Brandon was approached by long time colleage and artist manager, Jason Davis, in December of 2023. He said, "I have an incredible new artist I am working with and would love for you to be part of the productions." At this time, Brandon was primarily a studio musician. Brandon recorded instrumentation on the songs that were being pitched to major record labels... covering instrumentation such as acoustic guitar, banjo, electric guitar, lap steel, and mandolin. A fourth song was sent over... a very rough demo with basic programming. After listening to the demo, Brandon reached out to Jason and said, "You've got to let me produce this song, I know I can make it a great!" Jason agreed, allowing Brandon to become a co-producer along side producer Joshua David. then later adding producer A.J. Pruis to help bring the songs across the finish line. The song, "Grave Robber (Hail King Jesus)" was one of three other released songs through FairTrade Services in March 2024. Though he covered roles such as acoustic guitar, banjo, electric guitar, gang vocals, keys, lap steel, percussion, programming, resonator guitar; you can even hear Brandon screaming into a microphone in portions of the song. The song has received over 1.5M streams on Spotify alone. God has really done some amazing things through Emerson's career!
