Keith Meenan - CEO / Engineer / Producer

Keith is a powerhouse of musical talent, known for his technical precision, emotional depth, and ability to bring out the very best in the artists he works with. With two music degrees, eight sponsorships (including Godin and Seagull), and a career that spans major label work and nationwide tours, Keith’s résumé is as deep as his passion for music.

A decorated musician and award-winning educator—named Best Music Lessons in Idaho (2022)—Keith thrives at the intersection of shred-worthy complexity and heartfelt composition. His influences range from Mozart and Dream Theater to Tool, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Hans Zimmer, and James Horner, reflecting the breadth and ambition of his musical vision.

Keith has built a professional-grade studio designed to empower the next generation of artists—with rock-bottom prices and top-tier sound. His ability to inspire confidence and creativity makes him a natural fit as a producer and teacher. Since 2020, his journey toward sobriety has only sharpened his focus and deepened his impact—now over five years clean, Keith is producing, playing, and mentoring at the highest level of his career.

Jason Sneed – Head Mixing Engineer / Producer

Jason Sneed brings a rare blend of technical expertise, musical instinct, and gearhead passion to Make it Now Productions. A longtime fixture of the St. Louis music scene, Jason has played in bands like Building Rome, Hiding from Chris, Cue the Noise, and Ignore the Lights. His love for recording began as a teenager, layering tracks on his family’s computer using nothing more than Windows Sound Recorder. By 16, he was already the designated engineer for his first band—and he’s been hooked ever since.

Now with over five years of professional mixing experience and multiple top-20 mix placements on URM Academy, Jason is known for his sharp ear, deep musicality, and ability to elevate a track through pop-smart hooks, intricate layering, and spot-on arrangements. He’s also a skilled bassist, guitarist, and vocalist, which gives him a natural edge when working with artists in the studio.

Jason’s studio is powered by a massive handcrafted rack of custom, high-end gear and outboard processors that he knows inside and out. He’s also a talented computer programmer, giving him an edge in customizing workflows, solving problems on the fly, and integrating tech in creative ways. He lives in Wentzville, MO with his amazing wife Rochelle and their five kids—Elijah, Kaydance, Zoe, Ethan, and Rivers. His musical heart lives somewhere between Weezer, Deftones, Silverstein, Neck Deep, Joyce Manor, and NOFX.
