Producing, soft Rock music, music producer, Rock producing, Rock and Roll, forlk Rock
As a soft pop rock music producer, my music would combine Rock and Roll with some aspects from folk rock, meaning that it would be softer and more toned down than normal rock music.

[...] It makes use of values of production as well as arrangements that are not only more clean but also more polished led by either a piano or an acoustic guitar. In addition, it is characterized by a bass guitar that is more bouncy and harmonious and a smoother more restrained use of an electric guitar (Shepherd & Horn 29).
