Creating Beautiful Sounds for the World

Hi, I’m Stephen Hodd, the individual behind Savage Acoustic Productions.

At Savage Acoustic Productions, I’m deeply committed to creating music that is authentic and deeply connected to the individual. I pride myself on identifying the core of who someone is in their performance and helping them take it to places beyond their expectations. My goal is to ensure that what we create together remains true to your vision, capturing the raw, live energy that makes music unforgettable. In an AI-driven world, I believe in celebrating the human element—the nuances, the imperfections, and the moments that make music real and powerful.

As a guitarist, I’ve toured the world, performing with artists like Passenger and Lou Rhodes, and I’ve played at iconic events like Glastonbury and South by Southwest. My guitars are more than instruments; they are tools to channel my heart’s mission. I create unique sounds, sample packs, and use my collection daily to explore new ways of bringing my voice into the world. This ethos extends to every artist I work with—to help you bring your true voice into the spotlight.

As a producer, I’ve worked with major labels like Sony, EMI, and Universal, as well as numerous independent companies such as Ninja Tune. I’ve co-written songs with Passenger and Lou Rhodes, created library tracks synced worldwide, and produced my own albums, including rock and live-recorded works. My recent projects include collaborations with incredible musicians like Matt Hector, Mark Neary, Danny Keane, and Jon Thorne, resulting in records that marry live energy with thoughtful production.

Beyond production, I mentor artists in songwriting, live session setup, and artistry. I’m passionate about guiding others to unlock their creative potential and bring their ideas to life. Additionally, I lend my voice to audiobooks, commercials, and adverts, having even won an award for my work on “The Gods of Being Human.” My voiceover work spans creating vibrant characters to narrating compelling stories, some of which can be found on Audible.

Savage Acoustic Productions is more than just a studio; it’s a space where creativity thrives. I’m here to help you embrace your authenticity, whether through music, mentoring, or storytelling. I also run my own label, Savage Acoustic Records, where I release my work—six full-length albums, several live albums, and EPs—always pushing myself while staying true to my art. Lyrics and poetry play a huge role in my creative process, as does my podcast, “Tapping the Flow,” which explores the inherent creativity within all of us.

If you’re looking to collaborate, learn, or bring your vision to life, I’m here for you. Let’s talk and see if I’m a good fit for your project. Creativity is a birthright, and I’m passionate about helping you embrace it. Cheers!
