Production/Writing/Remixes
Cash Cash Music is a professional production team that specializes in producing, recording, and writing music ranging from dance/pop to alternative/rock. Having learned from producers such as Matt Mahaffey & Jeff Turzo (Hellgoodbye, Forever The Sickest Kids, Wired All Wrong) & S*A*M & Sluggo (Metrostation, Boys Like Girls, We The Kings, Gym Class Hereos), they quickly put all our experiences together and were able to make a team of their own.
