TESTIMONIALS
“Nick has an impressive resumé, not only as a producer but also as a musician. More importantly though, he has a tether to the foundation of art and creation - to the spark - and he protects the integrity of the music throughout, and even despite of, the process.We love Nick.”
— FALL LIFT
“I already have recommended to friends! I’ve told them how the studio provides so many parts of the album making process outside of making the music itself from crowdfunding to lodging to creative direction and marketing. They make something that feels impossible actually attainable. But what I loved most was how supportive Nick has been. He believed in me when I didn’t really believe in my self. He made me feel like my music was worth it and I deserved to make an album like this. It’s been a huge project and there’s still much to do but the music turned out better than I could have ever expected. I truly never thought I could sound so good.”
— CAROLINE SHAPIRO
“You are gaining a true creative partner in the process of working with Nick. Make that part of your plan -- articulate your vision, listen to the feedback and let yourself take advantage of the collaborative experience that Nick is capable of delivering for you. He's a great active listener. After working on two albums with him, the thing I value most is his ability to contribute creatively to the vision-building.”
— BRIAN BACON
“I brought my family with me from Canada, to be able to include them in the musical experience. Ryan age 4, Angus age 2, will have memories of a lifetime. As will my husband and I. Thank you for offering such a beautiful and grounded oasis to explore and create. Nick and Meredith are wonderful people who inspire, and hold true to their vision. Feeling grateful for this time, and music I now get to share with the world.”
— ALEXZ JOHNSON
“If you go in with a vision, Nick is the best person to help you realize it and refine it. The gift of being at Freda is the fact that there is this home base where you can bed down and find your feet, all whilst world class musicians come in and out the door to work with you. As an independent artist, having a close working relationship with Nick meant I could hand the reigns over to him with complete confidence - all the organization, planning and execution is down to him - it leaves you free to truly live the experience, flex your creative muscles and benefit from his expertise and support. At Freda, I felt like my true artist self was able to come to the surface for the first time.”
— EMMA MILLER
“Nick & Meredith and the Freda Recording family-Thank you for creating this wonderful space for songs. You really do have something special here, and you have a knack for surrounding yourselves with people who have the same joy and passion. The combination makes for nothing short of a joyful and fulfilling experience.I’m grateful to be part of what you’re doing here.”
— ALICIA STOCKMAN
“This album's producer, Nick Bullock, was immensely important to making this a reality. Not only did he play on many of the songs, hire the musicians, convert my chord charts to something legible, and talk me through my reservations, but he pushed me to elevate my ideas and showed me that I could make a collection of songs of a caliber that I had thought was just a dream. For that I am grateful because this thing exists and it's wonderful.”
— MARCUS FAKLER
“Recording at Freda is a once in a lifetime experience. As an artist, being in this type of immersive environment with professionals this skilled, kind, and collaborative is priceless! AND (probably the most important thing of all) the focus is always on serving the music/project. Every element of the process is geared toward helping you bring your vision to life and serving the songs in the most meaningful way possible. Go for it!”
