About Us
At Highway To Waves Production, we believe that music is the heartbeat of every story. Founded by Terry Loerch and Paul Capili, the creators behind United Disabilities and Ask Disability, we are a dynamic production company with a passion for creativity, innovation, and inclusivity. Our mission is to make music creation accessible to everyone, especially within the disabled community, by breaking down traditional barriers in the music industry.
Drawing from our experience with United Disabilities, we have applied our knowledge and principles to the music industry, creating opportunities for disabled music makers to bring their visions to life. By leveraging advanced AI technology, we simplify the music production process—cutting down the need for large teams of engineers and streamlining the entire workflow. This not only reduces overhead but also makes high-quality music production accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
We’re particularly proud of the way our technology empowers disabled creators, giving them the tools and resources needed to compose, produce, and finalize their music independently. Our approach ensures that music production is no longer an exclusive domain controlled by corporations or industry gatekeepers. We’ve designed a system that simplifies the entire process, making it more efficient and cost-effective, while still maintaining full creative control.
Our journey started with a simple mission: to bring fresh, innovative music to the world while fostering inclusion. Today, we offer a wide-ranging catalog that spans everything from children’s music that parents will love, to contemporary tunes for college students, and nostalgic tracks for Gen Xers. We are constantly expanding, and we invite you to join us on this journey.
At Highway To Waves Production, we believe in the transformative power of music to inspire, connect, and uplift. Whether you're looking to license original music for your project, collaborate on a creative vision, or explore new sounds, we’re here to guide your musical journey—free from the roadblocks of the traditional industry.
Let the music move you.
