Kia Ora!
Ko au Tom Foden.
I'm a Music Producer.
Let's shape your sound together.

• Get in Touch

Music has always been my passion.
Producing live events has been my profession.
In late 2024 I decided to follow my heart and start running my production studio fulltime from my home in Lower Hutt, Wellington.

Creative processes always vary.
There are endless possibilities and potentials.
Doubt and indecision too.
So I use a simple, effective approach to help us get to where we need to be.

First, I listen intently to you and your music, and for what wants to be heard.

Once you know that I've truly heard you, trust flows into productive, creative collaboration and strong decisions are made.

We make your music what it's meant to be, and turn your dream into something you can play on repeat!

This process is iterative, meaning it keeps looping, cycling through each time a new decision needs to be made.
We listen with intent so we can trust what we know to guide the next creative act.

I'm like everyone, juggling our roles in life.
Husband, dad, friend, musician, producer, to name a few.
I've sometimes struggled and dropped the ball, like so many of us do. These days, I let those experiences help to guide how I work.

So who am I?

I'm a believer - in people and in music as one of our purest and most powerful forms of expression.

Professionally, as a music producer, my role is broad:
- project manager
- recording engineer
- editor and mixer
- critic and advisor
- collaborator and composer
- musician

I'm a generalist who knows when to call in the specialists, how to make a plan, and do what it takes to deliver it. I learnt the craft of production through 20+ years in the events industry.
Now I’m combining that experience with my lifelong passion for music.

I’m grateful to every artist who’s trusted me with their music. Here’s what a few have shared.

"Love working with Tom. His production adds colour and quality to the songs, and together we’ve developed interesting ideas into fully finished, commercial tracks. It’s exciting to hear the drafts, mixes and masters come together.

His studio is comfortable and well-equipped, and I feel confident and able to relax. We work hard and get a lot done, and his knowledge, observations and suggestions are excellent."

— Kirsty Blair


“I had a great experience with Tom. Definitely want to work with him on my future projects. Recommend — 10/10.”

— Humraaz Nagyal


“Tom’s space is very welcoming, warm and has everything you need for a good quality recording. Tom himself is a delight to work with! His costs are super reasonable and a great option for artists of any kind especially those on a budget.”

— Nicole Fyfe

If something in here resonates with you, that’s something worth listening to.
Trust that now could be right time to create together.
Hit me up and we'll have a kōrero.
Then let's hit the studio!

A purpose-built and warm space with the right tools - made for comfort and creativity.
