Kenny Cash Producer Engineer Composer and Owner Of Norwalk CT Music Recording Studio Factory Underground Launches New Website

Factory Underground Owner, producer, recording engineer, composer of music for film, Kenny Cash has launched a new website featuring his latest work.  www.KennyCash.com

Kenny Cash of the Factory Underground Studio is a versatile and artistic producer-musician. Leading the way in Hip Hop, Electronica, Alternative, Rock, Soul, Pop, and Classical--there is little ground left unbroken by Kenny Cash. Very few producers can boast of Cash’s multitalented reputation: he is known as a beat master in the Hip Hop world, a remix extraordinaire in the EDM genre, and even had a Billboard charting classical album in the same year that his rock-EDM remix was being considered as the theme song by the U.S. Olympic team.

It should come as no surprise that Kenny Cash was granted a scholarship to the world-famed Berklee College of Music, where he mastered the electric bass, acoustic and electric guitar, and learned to play the drums, keyboards, and clarinet. Also no surprise--that his advanced studio skills are purely self-taught.

In 2009, Cash opened the Factory Underground Studio in Norwalk, CT, alongside business partner Ethan Isaac. “The Factory,” a state of the art recording facility, is where Kenny Cash was finally able to center his artistry. The Factory's cool New York vibe, professionalism, and talent pool quickly began to draw in artists from all over the Northeast and beyond. And through all of this, Cash’s own creative output has thrived.

Cash has produced and collaborated with a wide variety of artists. He has worked with award-winning mix engineer Ron St. Germain, heavy metal/EDM artist Sid Wilson of Slipknot, and alternative rock group Edisun. He has earned his stripes in the Hip Hop world by producing for Fred the Godson, Canibus, Chino XL, Cory Gunz, Cappadonna, and Babs Bunny (Making the Band), and earned praise from Hip Hop legend KRS-One. Other clients have included SRG/Spotify, SONY, and Universal Music Group. Most recently, Cash has had the pleasure of engineering and mixing for guitar legend Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Anuhea, Poppa Chubby, and Davina and the Vagabonds. Cash also co-writes alongside his wife Laura in their writing duo under the name Che-Val, with a single “My Beat” hitting #52 in the top 40 radio chart. Cash has music placed in a variety of TV networks including MTV, Oxygen and E and is signed non-exclusively to multiple licensing companies including Music Box and Atrium Music.

NEW VIDEO RELEASE: TOBIN MUELLER MASTERWORKS TRILOGY: MUSIC OF TRANSCENDENCE

     Tobin Mueller has announced his film biopic "Masterworks Trilogy, Music of Transcendence," featuring interviews, and a behind the scenes look at the writing, recording, and mixing of his latest work "Of Two Minds: The Music of Frederic Chopin and Tobin Mueller." Directed by Marc Alan of Factory Underground Records, with editing by Aidan Gerety of Stateside Visuals, the ten minute film work is now available on Mueller's YouTube video channel. 

     The Masterworks Trilogy is a three album set recorded by Mueller over the past three years. The final album in the trilogy, "Of Two Minds," is an exploration of the intersection between jazz and classical piano. On disc one, "Tobin Plays Chopin,"  Tobin performs a selection of intricate musical compositions by Frederic Chopin, including Polonaise in A Major, Op 40, No 1, Mazurka in A Minor, Op 17, No. 4, and others. Disc Two is "Tobin Plays Tobin," nine pieces of solo jazz piano written by Tobin Mueller, inspired by the music of Chopin. Mixed, mastered and engineered by Kenny Cash of Factory Underground, the double album set was released in 2016, and is available for purchase on CD Baby, Amazon, and other online retail sites. 

    The two other albums in the trilogy are "Tobin Mueller: Impressions of Water and Light," featuring original compositions inspired by Impressionist painters of the 19th Century, and "Flow: Music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Tobin Mueller," another two disc set.   

     Interviews in the film detail parallels between Mueller's struggles with A1AD lung disease, and Chopin's struggles with tuberculosis and other lung disease that resulted in the composer's death at 39. As Mueller explains, "This is why I have to get the music out as long as I can continue, why I've had to reduce stress, change all my priorities..."

     The film also outlines Mueller's volunteer work at Ground Zero in New York City, which began the day after 9-11, September 12, 2001. Mueller's work on site including supplying the firemen and welders with food, water and other materials. In the years after 9-11, Mueller developed what he thought was a bad case of asthma, but that later turned out to be A1AD, a condition which involves inflammation and swelling of his joints and lungs. 

     An interview with Kenny Cash reveals Tobin's prolific nature, having worked on at least eight of Tobin's albums over four years of their work together, a number of them multiple disc sets.

After only three days on the site, Che-Val tracks downloads have skyrocketed with all signs pointing toward massive growth potential. "This is very exciting for us," said Laura Cash. "I come from a dance-music background, and Kenny is an incredible remixer himself - for DJs and other remixers around the world to be adding our songs to their collections, that's a huge feeling of accomplishment for us."

"We feel like the next piece of our process is to start collaborating with other artists and DJs. We want to hear their interpretation of our music. It’s like hearing a story you love from a completely different perspective. It opens your eyes and ears to something entirely new and inspiring and takes you somewhere you may have never planned," Kenny says.

Kenny Cash, whose music career started in the practice halls of Berklee College of Music where he attended on a full scholarship, had already established a diverse catalog of recorded material by the time he met Laura, an artist who came to record at his Norwalk, Ct Factory Underground Studio. "When we first started dating--Kenny said, "Just so you know, my music is always going to come first!  I laughed but I really respected that. It's what we had in common. It struck me how creative and dedicated he was to his music, and it was a perfect mix from the beginning." The two were married in 2011.

The couple's album "Waterproof" is their first record under the name Che-Val, which was inspired by an over-sized framed mirror the couple fell in love with early in their relationship. "We had been writing and recording material that was a mix of Kenny's growing interest in mixing electronic textures with organic orchestral instruments. I found that mix of styles really worked with the songs I was writing."

Factory Press (Norwalk, Ct) "2015 was such a huge year for me musically. I just wanted to give back. I created these beats to give out to my people in Connecticut as a thank you for all the support this year. But then I thought would just put them out there for the world and Im happy if people use them, enjoy my work," said Factory Underground producer Kenny Cash about his recent #FreeForCT release of all 100% original royalty-free, sample-free material.


Kenny Cash who is also known as one half of the indie pop group Che-Val, also plays bass with indie rock Americana group Lines West. A graduate of the Berklee School of Music whose roots are in jazz, gospel and hip hop, the producer has worked with several prominent rap artists including Chris Webby and Fred the Godson.

"I work with so many different types of music, but hip hop is deep in my heart, and my Ct crew are some of the best hip hop talent in the world in my opinion. They have always supported me as i was building (at the Factory Underground), so I love giving back to the community as much as I can. I made these beats first just for my Ct people. Finally I decided I would give them up to the world too--just to let people know what's happening up here in Norwalk, Ct."


"So again for the record, these are royalty-free for the taking?"


"Yes, totally. I hope people will use them and shout me out--that's all I ask. Tweet me, hashtag me, whatever-- its all good. I just want people to enjoy them, use them, be creative and have fun. I tried to mix them up and give some different vibes, some Hip Hop instrumentals, some Boom Bap, some trap and some UK Grime."


"And these are all original music?"


"Yes, 100% composed by me, recorded into Logic at my Factory Underground studio. I use a slew of different sounds, synths, plug ins, and drum machines--but there are no samples to be cleared--its all original."


"How are you distributing these beats?


"They're all on Soundcloud. Real easy and simple: https://soundcloud.com/handsomemoneymusic/sets/free-tee


"How can people get in touch with you and how can artists submit their material for production?


"It's simple. Call me at the studio. I'm here. 203-275-8672 or FactoryUndergroundStudio@gmail.com I'm always down to give a listen to a new artist, and I love collaborating on songs, productions, beats... anything. Music is my life- it never stops."
