Song Flipping
aka Full Production
Got a song idea? Got a voice memo? Got a demo that just isn’t cutting it? We take that fixer-upper of yours and flip it into a competitive radio ready track. We work remote or in person in case you need a little extra encouragement or a great mic and also happen to be in the Washington DC area.
Mix & Bits
aka Audio Engineering
Already recorded and produced your song? First, way to go. That’s baller. We will level you up. We provide advice on arrangement, sound selection and recording. Like your track just as it is? That’s cool too. We’ll mix it and make it sound incredible. No extra bits required.

Hey look, these women agree:
HAEZL
Pop artist & producer
Kim at Hear Me Roar Studio is one of the best. She not only has the capability to truly listen and hear what the client needs, her abilities and talents take the mix to the next level. I am beyond grateful to have found her and am looking forward to working with her again in the future. Can not recommend enough!
Amanda Cunningham
Songwriter, session singer, & recording artist
Kimberly at Hear Me Roar Studio was great. We worked together easily to create a strong track that we both felt perfectly fit the sonic direction we were looking for. Working with her and her team was easy, fun, and great at making me feel seen and heard, plus the end results are fantastic. Highly recommend reaching out to them to create the music that you're hearing in your head that you need a guiding hand and technical know-how to do!
Eryn Michel
Songwriter & voice-over artist
I’m a more confident songwriter, musician and baby producer from having worked with Kimberly. She transformed a song that that would have lived in my voice memo graveyard forever into something I'm excited to release this year. I highly recommend Hear Me Roar Studio to any woman-identifying human who wants to take their music to the next level and feel heard while doing it. Thank you, Kimberly, for everything!
Brittany Lee Accardi
Sync-pop songwriter & singer
Kimberly Shires is a Swiss-army knife of musical talent, from songwriting, to singing, to producing and mixing and general sensibility, all which I've benefited from first hand. She's produced 3 songs for me, and was cognizant of my vision every time while elevating the music with her own creative sense, staying sensitive to what I wanted for the song. They all turned out fantastic, and I can't wait to do more with her!
Stephanie Mathias
Songwriter & violinist
Working with Kimberly has been the DREAM!! In the past, releasing original music had burned me out, so I was hesitant to get back in the studio, but I had a song calling me. Then I heard Kimberly’s work and knew she’d be the perfect producer to bring it to life. Aside from her incredible skill, she also made every step of the process extremely easy. She took the time to talk with me through my apprehensions and gave great advice on how to share the song in a way that supported me personally. During the production process I felt so comfortable sharing my ideas because she easily captured my vision and feedback and had so many creative ideas on how to enhance it! The final product was absolutely incredible and I’ve already gotten so many compliments on the song. And best of all, Kimberly helped me heal my relationship with songwriting and releasing music. From the first consultation call to the final product, this was such a unique, high quality, and fulfilling experience.
You've heard of house flippers? Well, we flip songs.

Hey! It's me!
Hello gorgeous! I’m Kimberly Shires. I am a producer and yeah, I’m a girl.
We make up like 2% of the producer world or some insane underrepresentation like that. But check this out. Women actually hear sound different from men. Not better, not worse, but different.
I could get all scientificy about it, but I will just tell you that we hear a broader spectrum of frequency and have a very strong response system.
That’s pretty cool and well… it makes our tracks stand out.
That’s why I started Hear Me Roar Studio. It’s a space where women serve women to make awesome music. We need to represent! We need you to be heard.
What you should know about me.
- I’m a great listener.
- I give a lot of shits about the end result.
- I have a deep history in music with a degree and all.
I’m not here to tell you how your song should sound or tell you what your vision should be.
I’m not here to confuse you with techy talk and I don’t speak in serial numbers.
I am here to take YOUR vision where YOU want it to go with a little helping hand and a bunch of knowledge and experience and a great network of session musicians in case you need that extra somethin’ somethin’.
I am here to show you the possibilities and get you to level up that amazing sound of yours.
I am here to have great conversations about the art, the feeling you want the listener to have and maybe some girl talk if we have extra time.
This’ll be fun!
