Distribution
Need help getting your music out there for people to hear? We offer coaching sessions to help you set up distribution to streaming services, establish a bandcamp page, set a social media strategy and even get physical pressings if that's what you want.

"Scoutknife is an excellent collaborator when it comes to producing and recording the music of others. He is a great champion of your musical ideas but also a critical listener. He isn't afraid to make suggestions and add elements that make the songs sparkle and shine. The process is so easy with Scoutknife! He creates a comfortable and collaborative atmosphere. It's quite relaxed. He's highly supportive, fun to work with, and isn't afraid of sonic experimentation. In fact, he encourages it. He's open to your ideas, and is willing to try them out. I'm always astounded by the finished product. Scoutknife really has an ear for what works. At this point, I consider Scoutknife essential to my sound."

What Artists Are Saying
"Scoutknife exceeded my expectations in every way. Joel helped me record both a spoken-word-over-music piece and a song for my upcoming short film, and his talent elevated both projects. Joel is extremely professional, prompt, and gifted at bringing creative visions to life. As a successful artist, he understands the importance of balancing artistic expression with technical execution. I will definitely continue using his services and highly recommend him to any artist seeking top-tier production. Rhonda Yates, recording artist, poet
