Songwriters

Demo Xperts is a project designed for songwriters & artists, enabling them to record original music with some of Canada’s best session players in one of the lower mainland’s finest studios. With the support of Creative BC, we are able to offer cost-effective, quality recording services modelled after Nashville’s “live off the floor” style.

Based on a successful series of 2017-2019 demo recording sessions – called ‘The Barter Club’ – that were conducted at Studio Downe Under in Abbotsford BC, it became clear that within the industry, there was strong interest in accessing quality, economical recording for demos. The Demo Xperts project is the result of a creative partnership between McKiller Music’s award-winning producer & songwriting team Tom & Lynda McKillip, Abbotsford’s Studio Downe Under and New Yank Yorkie/songwriter/guitar player Jay Buettner. We have also teamed up with the remote-recording platform Sessionwire to accommodate those clients who may not be able to attend their sessions in person. SueCo Music, a BC-based music publisher, is joining Demo Xperts as a partner to provide film and television placement opportunities for completed demos showing commercial potential.

Demo Xperts caters to songwriters and artists at all levels, from emerging to established, with the goal of supporting an area of BC’s musical ecosystem in need of a little love. Let’s hear it for the songs.
