Jim Kaufman - Producer
Innovative in his audio journalistic approach to production; Jim Kaufman’s mastery lies in the detail-oriented creation of sonic storylines that captivate listeners one song at a time. A renowned producer, composer, engineer, mixer, and entrepreneur; Jim Kaufman maintains studios in both Los Angeles, California and Sedona, Arizona, and also co-owns The Song Factory in Nashville Tennessee. The Song Factory holds multiple #1 country songs and proudly publishes Jon Pardi (Dirt On My Boots, Head Over Boots), Dustin Lynch (Cowboys and Angels), and Ashley McBride (Dive Bar In Dahlonega, Girl Goin’ Nowhere) among others!
With a multi-instrumentalist background colored by experiences in almost every imaginable aspect of the music industry; Jim Kaufman catapulted from playing piano at the age of 5 to composing film scores, developing artists and producing hit songs. Kaufman’s songwriting and production credits run the gamut of musical genres. Current Kaufman productions include Atlas Genius’ third LP and Danny Worsnop’s (Asking Alexandria, We Are Harlot) second solo LP. Extracting and enhancing the careers of the best and brightest out of a plethora of underwhelming acts takes not only time but skilled precision in artist selection and development. “As a producer, my job is to not produce just a hit record, it’s to create longevity for an artist, ” Kaufman says of his proven approach to cultivating artists and maximizing their recording potential. “By shining my light on that potent nucleus I am able to better understand who they are at their core and show them their audience in it’s purest form.”
