About

I spent years telling stories. Now, I give them a sound.

Hi, I'm Kyle. Over the last 10 years, I've helped brands find their story, helped music creators tell their story, and made records that ended up on some of your favorite networks like Netflix and Prime Video. This studio is where all of that work comes together.

— Kyle Hicks (Founder, Analog Supply Co.)

The short version

Story first. Then sound.

Most brands have a look and a voice, but not a sound of their own.

I started my career on the team that built the StoryBrand SB7 framework, helping companies clarify their message so customers actually listen. I've taught it for years, and it often shapes my approach to brand storytelling: a brand isn't the hero. The customer is.

Then music pulled me in. As Creative Director at That Sound, I helped scale a boutique drum sample company into one of the most respected names in the industry, so much that Splice took notice and acquired it. At Splice, I helped launch more than 30 sample labels, introduced behavioral merchandising, published 100+ content stories, and self-produced highly-engaged content for music creators. This gave me an opportunity to see what happens when great sound meets a clear story.

All along, I was making records. As a producer, I've operated across genres, making everything from warm, soulful, analog-driven, sample-based vibes to orchestral hip-hop bangers, psychological tension cues, and everything in between. I'm blessed to have had my work placed on Netflix, Prime Video, MTV, Peacock, and the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

The Analog Supply Co. Studio is where it all comes together. We start with your story, then build a sound that tells it everywhere your brand shows up.

The studio

Built one piece at a time.

It started with a standing desk I built by hand, an interface, a sampler, and a pair of monitors. Today it's a hybrid studio full of vintage instruments and analog hardware. Every piece earned its place, and you can hear all of it in the work.

  • Instruments over presets.Real instruments, played by hand. Every sound starts as a performance.
  • The signal is the path.Neve, SSL, Pultec. Physical hardware, patched in and shaped at every step.
  • The room is part of the music.Built piece by piece and layer by layer. The room's anthropology echoes its process.
