bio
FreshBeat Studios is owned and operated by brothers Klaas and Nard Berings. Both composers and producers with over 20 years experience as recording artists, touring musicians, and songwriters. The Berings brothers have made music for major record labels, major brand name commercial campaigns, international television production companies and networks.
FreshBeat Studios currently produces music for commercials and television shows, including theme and bumper packages for series and gameshows.
Our team composes and produces pop songs for recording artists as well as for film and television licensing. We have a number of excellent in-house writers and producers, including long-time collaborator Hugo Kruijswijk, who are constantly working with world class vocalists, pro session musicians and DJ's.
The FreshBeat crew has offices and recording studios in Amsterdam, by the beautiful Amstel river, and in Los Angeles on the sunny Venice Beach. With an international clientele covering the United States, Europe and Asia, FreshBeat has proven to be a succesful concept for over a decade.
