Hidden Gems: Meet Collin Kehl of Doubtless Productions

Today we’d like to introduce you to Collin Kehl.

Collin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Doubtless Productions began as a passion project, built on the simple idea that music deserves to be created and shared without compromise. What started in a small home studio quickly grew into a collective effort—supporting artists not just with recording services, but with the tools, resources, and community needed to bring their vision to life.

From the beginning, Doubtless was driven by a belief in independence and authenticity. Instead of following the traditional industry model, we set out to build something different: a space where artists could record, collaborate, and distribute their music while maintaining full creative control. Early projects were fueled by late nights, borrowed gear, and a relentless DIY spirit, but word spread fast. More artists came through the door, drawn to the energy of a place that put their artistry first.

Over time, Doubtless evolved from a makeshift studio into a full-scale production house and creative hub. With a growing roster of artists, expanded services in recording, mixing, mastering, distribution, and marketing, and a vision for a physical location that doubles as both a record store and recording space, Doubtless continues to scale while staying true to its roots: empowering artists and creating music that lasts.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Not at all—and honestly, that’s part of what shaped Doubtless Productions into what it is today. The early days were fueled more by passion than resources. We started with borrowed gear, makeshift setups, and long nights learning how to stretch every dollar. There were plenty of challenges: figuring out how to compete with bigger studios, finding consistent clients, covering overhead without outside funding, and navigating the steep learning curve of both the creative and business sides of music. What kept us moving forward was the community. The artists who believed in us, the collaborators who showed up, and the belief that there was space for a studio and production company that actually put musicians first. Those struggles made Doubtless more resilient, and they continue to drive how we build today—layer by layer, without shortcuts, and with a focus on long-term sustainability.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Doubtless Productions isn’t just a recording studio—it’s a creative ecosystem designed to give artists everything they need to thrive. Doubtless has carved out a reputation for blending high-level production with artist-focused strategy. From recording, mixing, and mastering to distribution, playlist pitching, and marketing campaigns, the company is built to support music from its first spark all the way to release.

What sets Doubtless apart is its holistic approach. Where many studios stop at the final mix, Doubtless continues, guiding artists through the business side of music with the same level of care and detail that goes into the creative process. That means projects don’t just sound great—they’re positioned to reach real audiences.

Brand-wise, Doubtless takes pride in the culture it has built. The name itself is intentional: it represents moving forward with confidence, breaking through uncertainty, and creating without hesitation. Every session, every release, and every campaign is rooted in that spirit.

For readers learning about the brand, here’s what matters most: Doubtless Productions is where artistry meets strategy. It’s a place for independent voices to be heard, for ideas to become fully realized projects, and for music to be released with intention. Above all, it’s a company built on the belief that great art deserves both quality and visibility.

What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I’ve learned along this journey is that building something meaningful takes patience and persistence. When I first started Doubtless Productions, it was easy to get caught up in chasing quick wins or comparing myself to bigger studios that had more resources. But I realized that growth doesn’t happen overnight—it happens step by step, session by session, and through staying consistent even when things get tough.

I’ve also learned how powerful community really is. The artists, collaborators, and supporters who believed in me along the way have been just as important to Doubtless’ growth as the work I’ve put in myself. Music is collaborative by nature, and leaning into that has made all the difference.

At the end of the day, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about gear, numbers, or even the end product—it’s about creating an environment where people feel confident, supported, and free to make something real. That’s what I try to carry with me every time I walk into the studio.
