ABOUT
“I look at myself as a museum curator and you, the artist, as the art. It’s my job to present you as you are, in a way you’re proud to share.”
Coy Howell, owner and chief engineer of High Pass Productions, is a lifelong musician. As a passionate engineer, Coy prioritizes quality and musicianship in his productions. He graduated from Dark Horse Institute in 2016 where he studied under industry-leading Nashville engineers, and has since kept busy with various freelance and creative work in the Middle Tennessee area doing live sound, studio work, and video projects. He draws daily inspiration from Dan Huff, Joe Caroll, and a variety of industry staples.
Coy has been on staff in various production roles at The River Community Church, Breakthrough Church, and Life Church in Cookeville, TN.
Along with live broadcasting, Coy has engineered many shows, capturing video and audio content for later use in marketing campaigns, social media outreach, and more. He has recorded and mixed for many Christian music bands and local singer-songwriters. While recording and mixing are Coy’s main outlets and areas of expertise, he is also very knowledgeable about guitar tones and is an experienced guitar setup technician. A dedicated guitarist himself, Coy loves helping fellow artists find the right equipment, from pickups to amps to strings, helping each create expressive sounds that fit them as individual artists.
Coy believes that music is a gift from God and that he has been called to participate in and help elevate the music that is in the kingdom of God today. With that mindset, his mission is to “Make today a better yesterday for tomorrow!”
