Hi, I’m Jeremy Long. I run Useless Before Coffee!

My mission here is simple: Turn your songs into stunning recordings ready for release (while drinking too much coffee of course.)

As a studio engineer at The Rye Room — one of Portland’s premier recording facilities — I am confident I can help you get your musical ideas to jump through the speakers in beautiful detail.

If you find yourself answering YES to any of the following questions, then you may be in the right place.

- Do you write great songs?

- Do you want to bring those songs to life with a seasoned, yet friendly producer?

- Do you record at home, but can’t quite reach the “pro” sound quality you hear in your head?

To hear how this all would work, simply fill out the contact form on this website to schedule a FREE consultation or email me directly at booking@uselessbeforecoffee.com.

About me

In addition to producing other people’s projects, I have self-recorded several albums of original music under various monikers. I also have 5+ years of experience teaching production, guitar, and theory at a private academy in S.E. Portland, making good use of my audio degree from Musicians Institute. (Or at least that’s what I tell myself.)

Anyway, that’s enough about me. Check out the portfolio section of this website to see if you dig my work!

If you have ANY questions, don’t hesitate to reach out at booking@uselessbeforecoffee.com. You will receive a personal reply in no time. :)

I look forward to working with you!

Jeremy, Owner and Producer
