braiden sunshine
Braiden Sunshine is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from New London, Connecticut, known for his warm vocal tone, genre fluid songwriting, and deeply human approach to performance.
After first reaching national audiences as a semifinalist on NBC’s The Voice, Braiden has spent the years since building a more grounded and intentional artistic identity. His work blends folk, soulful pop, funk, and narrative driven songwriting, with a focus on emotional clarity rather than spectacle.
His most recent release, the Live Again EP, reflects that evolution. The project centers on themes of renewal, connection, and growth, pairing intimate storytelling with confident, lived in performances.
Whether on stage or in the studio, Braiden’s work is rooted in sincerity, restraint, and a clear sense of purpose.

The Live Again EP was a project centered around authenticity and connection, and Studio 60 was brought in to design and manage a system that would allow these qualities to flourish from start to end. This meant Studio 60 was highly involved in the creative and execution process, therefore empowering the artist to focus on what matters – the art.
In the first phase, Studio 60 was responsible for working closely with Braiden to evolve the music from an acoustic demo to a fully produced piece of work, all while staying centered around the true essence of the music. This meant In the background, we developed an execution plan to fully bring the project to life, including:
- Finding a Studio Partner
- Connecting with professional studio musicians
- Facilitating the arrival of previous inspirational musicians to Braiden, allowing him to tap into his art at the highest level with a dedicated group
Within phase 2, Studio 60 was responsible for implementing the plans that had been carefully established in collaboration with Braiden. This meant connecting Braiden to a Studio Partner that had access to specific equipment, including Telefunken ELA M 251E, Leslie B3, Yamaha G3, and a variety of Avalon, API, Neve, and SSL gear to further the qualities desired for this project.
Studio 60 was then tasked with handling post-production for the EP. The process was streamlined by booking a space allowing for collaborative, real-time feedback from the artist to the engineer, and strayed away from traditional workflows. With this adjustment, it resulted in a resource and time efficient post-production process.
As phase 2 came to completion, Studio 60 oversaw and coordinated the mastering process, sending the project off to Ryan Reault, an engineer with over 20 years of experience in the recording industry and credits including Logic, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, and Alessia Cara.
