JOE PEABODY

Producer/Writer

Joe grew up in a family where everyone played multiple instruments. He began his journey as a musician on trumpet at 10 years old, admiring the music of Herb Alpert. In high school, he became a proficient bassist and often doubled on keyboards and guitar. By 18 years old, he brought his band into the studio and discovered his true passion: Writing and Producing. The tracks received frequent local airplay, and Joe's career as a producer and writer was launched.

Within a few years, he was working alongside popular major label artists and hitmakers. Joe often picked up extra studio work engineering, mixing, doing sessions as a studio musician (playing bass, guitar, and keyboards), filling in for missing players in live bands, designing sample libraries, recording live performances, working for musical instrument manufacturers, and remixing hit artists. While these experiences enriched his broad base of skills, none stirred his passion. He then made the decision to turn down side work and only take producing and writing projects.

Through his career, Joe has built a dynamic resume that includes iconic Rap artists such as Ludacris, T.I., Rick Ross, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Ice-T, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard to name just a few. His experience with Platinum R&B artists includes TLC, Jagged Edge, and Next. He has also worked with many Rock bands and artists, including 80’s rockers Night Ranger (“Sister Christian”), J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf, and Santana lead vocalist Ray Greene. He has also written and produced music for Television commercials, jingles, and corporate videos. Some clients have included Staples, The Special Olympics, The Home Shopping Club, and many others. Joe has also written and produced for a growing number of Jazz artists.

He has been a featured speaker at the GRAMMY in The Schools event at Berklee College, and a panelist at numerous music business conferences such as the Philadelphia Music Conference, NEMO, the Future of the Music Industry Symposium, Digidesign (Avid) Pro Tools seminars, and Cakewalk demos. Joe has written articles published in Keyboard Magazine, Northeast Performer, and Electronic Musician.

Joe has held endorsement deals with Propellerhead/Reason, Mogami, MXL Microphones, Toft Audio Designs, PMI Audio Group, Cakewalk, Sagan Tech, Smart Loops, ArtistRelations.com, Dr. T’s Music Software and more. Some MI manufacturers have run full-page ads in music magazines with his endorsement of their products.

He has also been featured in multiple articles in Mix Magazine and Pro Sound News, as well as a TV segment on CBS News.
