" As producer of my last two projects, Will Ackerman's influence elevated my composing and performance to new heights. I just "happened" to write the best music of my career while working with Will. "

Stanton Lanier


" Our time at Imaginary Road Studios was magical. Will was able to envision and bring things out in our music that I had never imagined on my own. The results were truly beyond what I had expected. He is a gifted and driven producer and a just a great guy to team with. "

Erin Aas


" Working with Will as my producer has made me a better artist and human being. He is a man who truly cares about helping create your dreams and visions. He listens with an open heart, understands the unheard rhythm, and dances with the ever-changing ebb and flow. All the while reaching into the true depth of what the music can be, bringing it to the surface. The beauty, the substance, the process, that is Will Ackerman and his work. "
