RSR243 - Cheyenne Medders - Songwriting and Producing Pop Indie Rock and Folk

My guest today is Cheyenne Medders a singer-songwriter, producer and musician living in Nashville. Originally from North Georgia and taught guitar by his father, Cheyenne started writing songs and playing music with his brothers as a young teenager. In 2005 he moved to Nashville, where he produces his own music and helps other artists bring their ideas to life. 

Cheyenne co-wrote songs on The Secret Sisters' Grammy -nominated album You Don't Own Me Anymore as well as Ward Thomas' UK #1 album Cartwheels. He collaborates with Allie Farris as FM and Sara Beth Go as Geographi, and his brothers Carson and Will Medders as The Medders. 

He is a member of indie rock band The Nobility, and produces lo-fi electronic music under the name Bellbear. He is a member of the Real Sword music collective in Nashville. Cheyenne runs a home studio called Departure Room and has produced, mixed, written on, played on or otherwise worked on recordings by The Secret Sisters, Sarah Darling, The Kernal, James Paul Mitchell, Z Swann, Jude Smith, Svrcina and more. In 2019 he released 3 new singles from his upcoming full-length album Sapphired Up, due in February 2020.

I actually met Cheyenne through his uncle’s studio designed by Carl Tatzwhich I was checking out back when I wanted to build my own studio. In fact, I got my design for the loft above the control room from there.
