Tech-Driven, Emotion-Led: Vocal Production That Connects.






Summary:






In this session, Simone Torres—Grammy-nominated vocal producer, engineer, and artist—shares an honest look at her journey through the music industry. From performing as a kid to working behind the scenes with stars like Cardi B, Dua Lipa, and Camila Cabello, Simone reflects on how her path has shifted over time, blending artistry with a deep love for vocal production.She talks about starting young—gigging at nine, releasing an album at eleven, and opening for Macy Gray by fourteen—but feeling out of sync with her own artistic identity. A pivotal moment came during her appearance on The X Factor in 2012, when she realized she wanted more creative agency and meaning in her work. That shift led her to Berklee and into the world of vocal production and engineering, where she found a strong sense of purpose behind the glass.





Simone shares how her experience as a performer helps her connect with the artists she works with—whether that means creating a safe emotional space or literally buying socks for Jessie J to make a session more comfortable. For her, great vocal production is as much about empathy as it is about technical precision.She also opens up about setting boundaries in a fast-paced industry, building breathing room into sessions, and prioritizing mental health. Beyond her studio work, Simone runs vocal production retreats and streams on Twitch to demystify the process and build community. Looking ahead, she’s expanding into Latin music and designing a career that supports both creative freedom and sustainability—on her terms.
