Sleep Pour Productions started as Introverts FM, a passion project I founded to create opportunities for indie, pop, and singer-songwriter artists in a Dallas-Fort Worth scene that was dominated by metal and hardcore music. I realized there weren’t many spaces for these artists, so I began hosting events at venues like Ridglea Room, Club Dada, Double Wide, and Andy’s Bar, focusing on singer-songwriters and indie/pop bands.

Blake Kleisinger, who was with me from the start of Introverts FM, became my partner as we grew the project. He played a key role in helping me develop the event lineups and shaping the direction of our shows. As we got more involved, we both saw a bigger need for services like graphic design, photos, and videos to help artists grow. This led to us expanding Sleep Pour Productions into a full-service creative company.

Now, we provide a wide range of services—mixing, mastering, songwriting, media production, booking, and graphic design—helping independent artists bring their sound and visuals to life. We prioritize working with artists who share our values, focusing on projects that carry positive messages and uphold good morals. Whether it's the music we produce or the events we curate, we’re committed to creating work that uplifts and inspires.

In addition to the services we offer, we’re proud to collaborate with a growing roster of talented artists who are officially partnered with Sleep Pour Productions. These partnerships allow us to showcase their work, include them in our events, and connect them with new creative opportunities. If you're an artist looking for a team to help you grow, we'd love to hear from you—let’s build something powerful together.

One of the moments that stands out to me is our first show at Andy’s Bar. It was packed, and the next day, I received an email from the booker saying how impressed they were with the turnout. That email reminded me of why I love doing this—bringing people together and providing artists a platform to be heard.

Looking ahead, we want to throw even bigger shows while staying true to our roots in the DFW scene. Although we’re a small team, we have a strong network of professionals, and we’re excited to keep making an impact and helping artists get the recognition they deserve.
