Hi, I’m Nolan Trotter, a Brooklyn-based artist, producer, and recording engineer. I blend performance, production, and engineering to bring songs to life across indie and alternative projects, always aiming for thoughtful, hands-on collaboration and sonically adventurous results. I’m currently studying at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music and working as an independent engineer and producer. I love experimenting with gear, arranging ideas with artists, and guiding tracks from spark to finished release.
