About

I’m Trafton Harvey, a Nashville-based audio engineer, music producer, and studio owner with 15+ years of hands-on experience in full-cycle music production—recording, mixing, and mastering through delivery-ready final masters. I run 26 & 12 A Recording Studio in Nolensville, Tennessee, and I’m focused on commercial-grade results built around strong collaboration with artists, especially for precise vocal production, creative arrangements, and dependable project management that earns repeat business.

I’m also a dedicated staff songwriter with an active catalog of 1,000+ co-written songs, with more than 30 recordings and cuts across country, pop, Americana, and rock. Between my work on Music Row and my studio production side, I combine deep technical expertise with songwriting instincts and business know-how—pitching for sync opportunities and building mechanical and performance royalties—so the music connects with audiences and stands up in a competitive market.
