Interview with Jon Hubbell, Engineer and Producer on H.B. Thal Album

Meet the engineer/producer behind my Album Jon Hubbell. Jon and I have worked together on most of my projects. He mixed the Bieber project a couple years ago as well as played my last EP release show. He’s a great friend and a great collaborator. So much of the pride I take in this album has to do with Jon helping me see these songs through to their full potential. He’s a great composer and a wonderful friend. Here’s a little about Jon.

How did you get into composing/producing? 

When my band in high school broke up I still had an itch to continue writing music. I found my dads old laptop and downloaded a bootleg recording software and was hooked. Ive been composing for television Ads and producing other artists ever since.

 What are some inspirations for you as an artist? 

Ive always been inspired by bands or artists that do the unexpected. Radiohead’ Kid A, Sufjan Steven’s Age of Adz, and Thrice’s Vheissu are albums that took me completely by surprise and explored sounds and styles that those particular artists had yet to visit. 

 What do you like most about collaborating with other artists? 

Getting to explore what inspires another person. Sharing energy from another musician is important for your own inspiration and skill level. 

 Where can I find your music? 

I write for television Ads so turn on your TV and enjoy the ride. I also write/perform under the name Bigfoot Wallace but its been awhile since I have done anything with that.
