Producer and Engineer Kevin Szymanski records the Rankin Twins at TRCoA

Kevin Szymanski drops in to engineer one of the Rankin Twins songs at The Recording Conservatory.

Kevin is an engineer, producer, and a mixing engineer who has worked with many well known artist and bands. Credits include Matchbox Twenty, Christina Aguilara, KoRn, Ash, Gordon Goodman, Barenaked Ladies, and many more.

The Rankin Twins (Amy and April) are one of the finalist for TRCoA's Unsigned Artist Showcase in 2010. They made such a huge impression on the judges and everyone in the crowd, we just had to invite them to our studio and record. Amy and April, are a winning double dose of Texas born and bred country music charm, talent and star potential. Performing and charming folks since they were old enough to stand up and do so, their presence on stage and studio recordings is a natural extension of their infectious personalities and sweet and dynamic sisterly interplay. With an innate gift for heartfelt and magnetic songwriting that captivates listeners, the duo combines deep Lone Star State musical roots with a shimmer of pop savvy into a sound that feels hit-bound from the very first listen.
