Tom McRae

I am a singer, a songwriter, a producer and performer. This page is currently dedicated to presenting myself as a session singer for hire. I am hired by producers, publishing companies and songwriters to sing demos. I love nothing more than being a part of the process of taking someone's song and making it the best it can be. My rates are competitive. I bring an outstanding microphone (peluso 22 251) that was professionally tweaked to fit my voice perfectly - so there is no rental cost of a high end mic when using me for your session. Many producers have a mic of choice they'd rather use which is fine too. I also have a very nice facility of my own especially designed for capturing great vocals. If your tracks are compatible with PT le or logic, you are welcome to use my facility for a nominal additional charge. However, I do not engineer and sing at the same time. I have several engineers to choose from or you can bring your own if you are not comfortable with engineering the session yourself. Most of my work, however, is done in studios other than my own. I've tried to post a variety of songs at this page in order to showcase my versatility. Some are from session work and some are live. Most of the songs that will be posted here are not written by me and are posted simply as a reference for you to hear my voice. I will continue to put up more diverse samplings as they are finished. My pedigree is mainly in Rock music but I am in no way limited to that. I am strong in Rock, Pop, Modern Country and Contemporary Christian. I've worked with MCA Records, MCA publishing, Steve Earle, Jon Hardy, Jon Hampton, Ardent records, Giles reeves, Kyle Lehning, Bobby Huff, Chrysalis records, Warner Brothers Records, Universal Music group, Uni Records, First warning records, ASCAP, BMI, Strangelove music, Mark Riddick productions, Many bands and songwriters of all styles and much more. I have plenty of references upon request. I love session singing and bring a positive energy to any project. I commit to being on time, healthy, and prepared. If you would like to book me to sing your session please send a message through this page or email me at sheltermusic@mac.com.
