  • At SameSame, it’s all about the song. We’re a songwriting and production duo that loves helping artists find their sound. With a catalog of hundreds of songs and credits on tracks reaching billions of streams, SameSame blends musicality, emotion, and commercial edge to bring an artist’s vision to life—whether starting from scratch or elevating a demo to a fully finished record.

  • SameSame specializes in vocal production that brings out the best in an artist’s performance. We’ve vocal produced some of the biggest records in the world, including Shawn Mendes’ “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back”, and worked with artists like Kesha, Julia Michaels, Dua Lipa, Wallows, Raye, Young the Giant, and Cage the Elephant. Whether we’re comping, tuning, or coaching in the booth, our focus is always on capturing something real—and making it feel effortless.

  • SameSame delivers mixes that hit hard and feel alive. We've mixed records for artists like Raye, Half Alive, and Young the Giant—and our rough mixes have helped shape the final sound of tracks by Portugal. The Man, Pink Sweat$, Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons, and Khalid. Even when we weren’t the final mix engineers, our work set the tone. Whether polishing a full production or elevating a raw demo, we approach every mix with clarity, emotion, and the experience to make it stand out.
