Boutique Recording at
BioSoul Music is a music production company and unique
recording space located in Silver Lake, Los Angeles.
Founded by producer & composer Daniel Weidlein, BioSoul Music provides not only the perfect acoustic environment to capture live ensembles, piano, and drums, but is also a collaborative creative space that's perfect for writing sessions, conceiving and developing new projects, filming YouTube content, and more.
The Studio
When Daniel Weidlein set out to create BioSoul Music with studio designer and master acoustician Chris Owens, they had two primary goals:• to build a tracking room with a vaulted ceiling that can capture BioSoul's coveted Yamaha C7 grand piano, string quartets, and drums with equal success;• to create a recording studio that is bright, spacious, and versatile.
Unlike other LA studios that harken back to the dark-red, dimly lit mood of the 80s and 90s, BioSoul Music provides a space that is bright, rejuvenating, and sustainable for artists.Located just up the street from the Silver Lake Reservoir, BioSoul is within walking distance of numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops, and with easy access to the 2, 5, and 101 freeways.The studio is always equipped with a large tea selection, a few prized bottles of whiskey and scotch, and an espresso machine to get you through those long late night sessions...
Production
BioSoul is a haven for independent artists looking for guidance in defining their sound, developing a musical brand, and seeking sonic exploration. We span a wide variety of genres and collaborate with top musicians, songwriters, and post-production specialist throughout Los Angeles to bring your vision to life.

Testimonials
"I love [Daniel] doing my vocals. He knows my voice, and he cares just as much about the artist as the music."- Blake McGrath
"In all of our [collaborations], Daniel marries his love for innovation with his ongoing investigation of what makes certain music successful. With every musical choice, he accesses dynamic colors with sensitivity and emotional depth. And as a collaborator, he supports a perfect balance of artistic opinion and actual mindful listening of the artists in the room."- Ryan Amador
"I had the pleasure of working with Daniel on my debut album, Riffraff & Chivalry. Not only was he an awesome addition to the production team as a player and writer, but when it came down to specifically recording my vocals I couldn't have felt more comfortable, powerful, and guided through each song. [He kept] the session fluid with precise vocal technique guidance as well as emotional connection to help bring out my perfect performance with each take."- Stan Taylor

About
Daniel Weidlein
Producer | Composer | Multi-Instrumentalist
Daniel is a resourceful and sensitive sounding board on song structure and harmony. He approaches songwriting with artists with musical and personal empathy first. Daniel adapts to the unique identity of every individual who comes in to BioSoul Music, and always aims to amplify and explore that artist's unique voice.As a producer, Daniel combines his skills as a sound engineer with his musical toolset, which includes:
• large format orchestration
• string & brass arranging
• choral and vocal arranging
• film scoring
• musical theatre arranging, and more...
Daniel's love for production started when, at age 11, he subscribed to his first music production magazine and started experimenting with recording on the family iMac. That passion continued to grow alongside his training in classical piano, jazz saxophone (BM, USC Thornton School of Music), and composition.Inspired by other genre-bending producers such as Quincy Jones and Blake Mills, Daniel has recorded, written with, and produced artists across the musical spectrum, from pop singer Blake McGrath, to legendary bassist Leland Sklar, to jazz saxophonist Bob Mintzer, to classical soprano Julie Craig.Working with Daniel brings you more than just his musical skill and technical mastery; at the forefront of each working experience is his deep love and extensive knowledge of a huge variety of genres, and what sounds and treatments will give your tracks that vibe.
Daniel has a special affinity for working with singers. His own background as a vocal bass and backup singer (NBC's The Sing-Off, Steve Harvey Show, Late Late Show with James Corden) allows him to provide an empathic and resourceful sounding board for singers in the studio. With deep technical and lyrical insight, Daniel won't just speak to the musicality of your takes, but also those qualities that listeners prize most in a song. It's not just about getting the "best" take, but about experimenting with different energy, allowing for playfulness and variety in your takes, and embracing vulnerability while delivering a lyric.Among the singers who have loved recording with Daniel are Luke Edgemon (Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Nick Jonas, Jelly Roll), Christine Noel, Crystal Lewis, Kirstin Maldonado (Pentatonix), and Cheyenne Jackson (30 Rock, GLEE, Hello Again).
As a vocalist, you're constantly at the mercy of your instrument's health as well as the intense vulnerability that comes with studio recording sessions, so you will find BioSoul Music is always well stocked with a large variety of herbal teas, a few bottles of whiskey, and a clean, comfortable sofa if you just need a moment to decompress.BioSoul is a proud partner of VocalMist the leader in tools for vocal health. We'll give you a free sample of their products at your next session!
