Alexander Almgren

Hey! I'm Alexander Almgren a music producer from Yorkshire, England. My credits include 17 albums that have reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200, five of which have reached the top three. I've worked with artists such as Born Cages, Skylar Spence, Bondax, Brand New, Dar Williams, Vanessa Carlton, and Smoke DZA. I worked on Born Cages’ acclaimed track “Don’t Look Back,” for which I received a gold record in 2015. I was trained in jazz and classical music, and went on to study popular music and music technology at the University of Huddersfield. After graduating, I moved to New York City to work with Neil McClellan at The Lodge Music Production House, creating advertising music for products such as Dentyne gum and Hot Wheels toy cars. Not long after, I began working with Gary Philips on production for a major children’s music brand, as well as working with various Razor & Tie Recordings artists. I continue producing children’s pop music to this day, which requires me to identify each component of a successful pop song and recreate it. This process has helped me develop a hyper-awareness of what goes into the production of a hit song. In 2015, I opened Freshly Baked Studios in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, where I produce for a wide variety of artists. My productions allow a song’s strengths to shine through on the track. It’s always about connecting with the feeling of the song -- I see my job as bringing different aspects of the song in and out of focus to lead the listener to the most important moments.
