Meet Rick Toner: Your music and audio expert
Discover the passion and experience behind Rick Toner Music. From stages to studios, learn about Rick's journey and commitment to delivering outstanding sound and service.
From humble beginnings to global recognition
My musical journey began with my first gig alongside my dad Jim Toner when I was just a lad, and I haven't stopped playing since. My venture into production started in 1994, sparked by a radio ad that made me believe I could create more impactful messaging for businesses. That moment set the stage for a career in radio as a breakfast host and production engineer, leading to my own purpose-built studio here in Hastings City, New Zealand.
Crafting sounds that resonate worldwide
My work has taken me all over the world, from a high tech Dentist in Sweden to a a memorable voiceover collaboration with a New York studio when their A - List talent was holed up in my home town over Covid! We brought in special equipment so their talent could use our studio and be recorded live in New York! Crazy! Advertising jingles, or voiceovers for presentations and conferences, I'm dedicated to delivering top-tier audio. Musicians on Application Only.
Your vision, perfectly amplified
What truly sets me apart is my commitment to listening to you. I pride myself on understanding exactly what clients are asking for and then delivering it with precision and passion. My ideal clients are direct businesses looking for high-quality audio solutions. I work closely with them to ensure their goals are not just met, but exceeded, providing a seamless and professional experience from start to finish. Please note: I work directly with businesses only, No agents please. pictured: Wendy Thompson, Sir Ray Avery, Rick Toner, Dr.Michelle Dickinson
