In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Jason Strong -- a multi-platinum producer and songwriter who has quietly built one of the most impressive and genuinely global careers around. His work spans pop, alternative, and K-pop at the highest level, with credits across the US, South Korea, Japan, and beyond, including Tomorrow X Together, TWS, D.O., Jessica Baio, Sueco, Knox, Christian French, Jamie Miller, and more. Born in South Africa, trained at Berklee, and now based in LA, he's built a career on being deeply musical, endlessly adaptable, and always artist first.

🎶 Song deep dives:

• "Other Side" by Jessica Baio -- how a chorus concept got completely reshaped in the room, keeping the production simple to let her vocal lead, and the reverb and delay choices that gave it that ethereal feel
• "Treadmill" by Knox -- full deep dive on Patreon

🎛️ We explore:

• Growing up in South Africa, discovering Berklee through John Mayer, and the audition that got him there
• Moving to LA right after graduation and building a career through visa-dependent production work
• Breaking into the Korean and Japanese markets and what makes those sessions different
• His philosophy on co-producing, handing off records, and when to let go of an idea
• Ableton vs. Pro Tools workflow and his approach to vocal chains
• Plug or Unplug: Keyscape, Goodhertz Wow Control, Chandler Limited Germanium Compressor, Splice Instruments, bx_console SSL 4000 E, iZotope Neutron, CLA Vocals
