Quicksound Productions

Founded in Montreal in 1995 by Roberto Sam Screnci as a Tribal House group, Quicksound quickly began performing in front of 15,000 spectators at North America’s biggest House Music Events. In the next 16 years they continued to evolve, building a Recording Studio, forming a Publishing Company, producing over 200 songs and working with some of the biggest names in the business.

As a production company, Quicksound offers services such as Songwriting, Music Production, Remixing, Live Performances and the Musical Direction of Festivals and Events.

Specializing in House Music, AfroBeat and Hip Hop, they built their reputation as Producers through 12” singles on labels like Twisted America, Ready Mix Records and Cirque Du Soleil Musique.

Quicksound’s music graced the Mix CD’s of superstar DJ’s like Danny Tenaglia and Roger Sanchez and the popular “Buddha Bar” series. Their remix of Cirque Du Soleil’s “Africa” was released on vinyl alongside a remix by Tiesto and on the Remix CD “Solarium Delirium” on Universal Records.

In 2006, Quicksound composed and produced three songs with Lionel Richie, including the hit single “All Around The World” which netted two Grammy Nominations for the Def Jam release “Coming Home”. The CD charted in the Top 10 in Europe and the U.S.A. and has been certified GOLD by the RIAA. The single was remixed by Bob Sinclar and it became a top 5 hit in Europe.

That same year, Quicksound began doing A&R work for a new record label owned by video game company UBISOFT. They discovered Norwegian pop singer ANJA and brokered a record deal for two singles, two videos and an album. The singles are featured in the video game Just Dance 3 alongside music by Katy Perry, LMFAO, Black Eyed Peas. So far the game sold over 8.4 million copies.
