Industry Veteran’s One Stop Production Shop: Founded in 2016 by multi-faceted writer, arranger, and producer Rudy Campbell, Bass King is an L.A.-based studio perfect for every indie artist’s multitude of production and development needs. Now collaborating with the Valley-based facility of multi-platinum, Billboard No. 1 recording engineer, pianist, arranger, and producer David “Rain” Banta, Bass King provides comprehensive, high quality music production services, including songwriting, arranging, vocal coaching, string/brass arranging, vocal producing/arranging, etc. across a multitude of genres in Campbell’s extensive production history—including hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, Latin, jazz, and house.
Campbell’s History and Approach: Over the years, he has done songwriting and productions with Imx, Ava Cherry, Sierra, Quantum HMBC, Big G and MC Eiht, China Girl, The Dixions, She’s All That, Marcus Huston, Marc Gordon of Levert, Shock G of Digital Underground, Kurupt from the Dogg Pound, and work on the Lion’s Gate film Christmas in Compton. His main genres are neo-soul, jazz fusion, and R&B. Originally an orchestral French horn player, his original goal was to get young people more interested in a diverse array of music, including classical. When artists come to him seeking full productions, he makes it personal, helping them feel comfortable with the natural sound of their voice, then adding elements like string arrangements, drum loops, and kicks to help them sound their best. He guides them to understand what they really want and helps them take their artistry to the next level and explore their deeper potential by “opening the box” beyond what they thought possible. He is currently working on several personal recordings for future release, including a vocal R&B album and a Latin hip-hop collection.
