Anthony Da Costa: Studio Secrets from a Nashville Savant | MCP #134

On the latest episode of the Morse Code Podcast I speak with singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer Anthony Da Costa about the unique trajectory of his musical path, already nosing into its third decade.

At 33, Anthony has continued to forge a symbiotic balance between helping fellow artists realize their own visions and making songs that are uniquely his own.

We discuss his early history as something of young folk prodigy, spending his teenage years opening for artists like Loretta Lynn and Suzanne Vega. It was 2020 that saw him diving into the studio bunker, first with his own music and later, as a producer for hire.

To my mind, Anthony is one of the most interesting song-forward producers working today. In a first-time feature for this podcast, we break open a Logic session for a track he produced for me — “Meet Me at the End of the World” — and talk through some of the color choices he made, and why.

Finally, we play an unreleased song — “When You Get This Close” showcasing Da Costa’s heart-on-sleeve lyrical approach and delicate musical touch.
