Hi! My name is Iggy Cardozo, I'm the founder of Casagrande Music and I'm here to produce your next record. But not just an average record, I'm here to create a true work of art. From songwriting, voice coaching, to mixing and mastering and everything in between, I'm here to make you sound like a star.
Making a great record is not easy, and the knowledge necessary to make a great record takes a lifetime to learn.
I'm a musician, music producer, singer and voice teacher. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, I'm based in Fort Lauderdale, USA.
I've been from Rock band musician to Opera singer and everything in between. I mixed my first record when computers had big white cubic screens. I studied classical singing and jazz, I've recorded in many recording studios of all kinds, and have learned from some of the best engineers and musicians in the world. I won a big guitar contest many years ago, I studied philosophy and I was a barista too!
All this journey has given me the tools and knowledge to understand what it takes to make a great recording. It requires a lot of passion and real hard work, and that's what I'm here for.
So keep scrolling down to learn more about what I do and let's start making your next record right away!
At Casagrande Music we make records! From 0 to the final master. Anywhere you are in the process of making your record and anywhere you are in the world, we can take it form there. We offer services like recording instruments, mixing, editing, mastering, etc., or we can make the whole record for you. We team up with many professional, highly skilled musicians and engineers that can do basically anything you need and for any music style.
Weather you have 10 seconds of a melody that you recorded on your phone or you have a band with 30 super-rehearsed songs, we will put together all the elements necessary so you can have a radio ready, Grammy winner, top selling (potentially) recording!
Whether you have just a melody or just some lyrics of a song, we can transform it into a fully composed song. We will work closely with you to ensure that you are extremely happy with your/our new song.
Anything you want to record, drums, guitar, piano, horns, just an ukulele or a full symphonic orchestra, we have you covered! We team up with top class musicians of all music styles to ensure you have the best ever recording.
If you are a singer or instrumentalist we will coach you and assist you throughout the whole production process and beyond, so that you can give your full potential at the time of the recording!
Pre-production is probably the most important part of the production process. In pre-production we develop the song to its full potential, we create the arrangement, the structure, pick the tempo, the key, we choose the instrumentation and coach the artists, specially the singer
The best room, mics, pre-amps and converters are as important as the ears and skills of the recording engineer, but creativity and experimentation are key elements in a recording. The idea will always be to create something appealing and new.
Mixing is an art form that is part of the song making process. The mix has to be artistically involved with the music and it has to represent the vision of the artist and the producer.
Mastering is the last process in the recording and it ensures that your record sounds right in every sound system on the planet, your headphones in the car and in your home audio system.
