Kurt "Wizz" Goebel is arguably one of Nashville's best pop producers. His long history of playing in rock bands and his wizardry with the gear make him an exceptional music programmer. But his talents don't end there, he is also a highly educated and refined musician.
Kurt began his musical studies at the age of 6, and played piano all the way through college, earning his Bachelor of Music degree in piano pedagogy from the University of Illinois. From there he enrolled at the University of Miami in Florida to get his Master of Music degree in the Media Writing and Production program.
It wasn't long before Williams/Bally/Midway, a game company in Chicago, snatched Kurt up as a full time composer for pinball and video games. During this season, Kurt refined his programming skills, and composed music in a broad range of genres. His work can be heard on various projects like the pinball game “Junkyard” and the CD-ROM game “You Don’t Know Jack”.
Kurt eventually grew restless and headed to Nashville to pursue live performance gigs. He has played keyboards and piano for a number of artists such as Third Day, Kristy Starling, Rita Springer, Lincoln Brewster, Paul Baloche, Ten Sheckel Shirt, and Jamie Smith. But despite his rock star chops on keys, it is Kurt’s exquisite programming and production skills which have kept gaining momentum in his music career and make him such a tremendous asset to Worldwide Groove Corporation.
Pop artists and record labels who have enlisted WGC in producing their music or composing string arrangements are the ones who enjoy the heart of Kurt’s talents. He has co-written and produced many songs and indie artist CD’s, along with edgy and current sounding projects for LifeWay Corporation and Integrity Records. Kurt’s rich musical background is evident in the versatility of his work. His string arrangements have enhanced many commercially released projects for artists like Plumb and Todd Smith on Curb Records, and his moving postscores have been sought after by organizations such as eHarmony and Compassion International.
Kurt’s work in Worldwide Groove Corporation makes use of all of his many talents, and when partnered with Ellen Tift, the sum is definitely greater than the parts.
 If you were to listen to one of Ellen Tift's big band swing arrangements, you would never guess that she lives in Nashville. Ellen is such a natural at swing arranging and composing that she was nationally recognized for her talents in the 8th Billboard Song contest jazz category, where her original song "Anyway" captured 3rd place. She is equally polished at composing string arrangements, most recently evident on Todd Smith’s radio single “I Turn to You”, released in August 2004 [Curb Records].
Armed with a graduate degree in music production and composition, Ellen is a formidable talent. She attended Belmont University's School of Music where she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Music degree as a commercial voice principle. Then she headed south to the University of Miami and earned a Master of Music degree in their exclusive Media Writing and Production program.
Ellen's intelligence and creativity are what make her an essential part of Worldwide Groove Corporation. She is the visionary and driving force behind WGC’s independent projects and increasing visibility in the music industry. She is currently consumed with establishing WGC’s independent label, Fabulation Records as a lucrative subsidiary. She is also enmeshed in producing volume one in her latest concept, the “Chillodesiac Lounge” series.
Prior to forming WGC, Ellen enjoyed a variety of gigs in the music industry including songwriting, postscoring, live performing, and studio vocal work. She composed for various music houses in Nashville, and has written and performed on radio and TV jingles that are airing across the country. Her clever lyrics are one of her most valuable assets in both her jingle and songwriting. Ellen made her TV debut in February of 2004 as a professional songwriter for the pilot of CMT’s show “Score”.
Since 1996, Ellen has been on adjunct faculty, teaching classes and private lessons for Belmont University's School of Music. She has taught everything from commercial vocal seminars to advanced contemporary instrumental arranging. This works in her favor, as her years of teaching commercial voice lessons have endowed her with great skill as a vocal producer in the recording studio. But, despite Ellen's love for teaching, it is her work for WGC which brings out her best talents. Worldwide Groove Corporation are able to create music in several genres, writing for any instrumental combination. They truly are one of the industry's most versatile production teams.
WHAT KIND OF TRAINING & EXPERIENCE DO WGC HAVE?
Both members of WGC earned their Master of Music degree from the University of Miami, concentrating in the areas of music production, composition, and arranging. They have a combined total of 19 years work experience in the music industry ranging from writing, to producing, to performing, to studio work for major record labels, independent artists, and video production companies. Ellen has taught commercial voice classes and lessons since 1993, so in addition to production of instrumental elements, she has an innate sense for vocal production as well.

HOW DO WGC DO ARTIST DEVELOPMENT?
WGC approach artist development with the attitude of finding what is unique and captivating about a singer and making the most of it. They spend time with the artist, learning what their musical tastes, vocal ability and sound, and visual impact are, and then creating a recording project which highlights their strengths within the appropriate genre. Strong songs are vital, therefore if the artist's songwriting skills are not yet ready to be featured on the artist demo, WGC will look for songs from publishing companies or write with the artist. The budget for artist development projects varies according to the type of production necessary and the number of songs. WGC will accept artist promo packets for review at the address on the contact page.

WHAT KIND OF INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGING CAN WGC DO?
WGC are great at string arranging. However, they are also extensively trained in big band swing arranging, orchestrating, and commercial vocal arranging.

WHAT ARE WGC'S STRENGTHS IN MUSIC PRODUCTION?
WGC really shine in the area of programmed pop music, remixes, and vocal production. Kurt Goebel is a premier pop programmer, and Ellen Tift has teaching voice since 1993, which when combined with her studio production experience makes her one talented vocal producer and editor. Between the two of them, they are able to evoke great performances out of their artists while giving them inspiring musical tracks. When it comes to remixes, WGC thrive in the ambient mix sound, utilizing approaches that are a bit left of center and very vibey.

DO WGC DO ALL PROGRAMMED MUSIC?
WGC do whatever is appropriate for the gig. They frequently incorporate real guitar, and often use real bass or drums, or even horns and live strings on projects as needed. They never settle into a routine, and evolve their sound with each new project.

DO WGC EVER DO POSTSCORES?
WGC have a background in filmscoring and postscoring, so they are very comfortable composing and producing post scores. Their postscores can be heard on various television commercials as well as videos for Compassion International and eHarmony.com.

WHAT MUSICAL GENRES DO WGC PRODUCE?
WGC do most of their work in the POP music genre, but they have composed and produced music in the following genres as well:
Big band
Blues
Chillout
Contemporary jazz
Club
Dance
Downtempo
Electronica
Funk
Gospel
Latin pop
New age
Orchestral
Quirky
R&B
Rock
Swing
Snippets of these other genres can be heard upon request.

WHAT ARE WGC BAD AT?
Kurt Goebel is not so good at break dancing on account of his stiff groin, and Ellen Tift is the last person you want as your tennis partner.

 

"With so much competition in an industry full of producers and programmers, Worldwide Groove Corporation made a memorable impression on me. Their approach to sounds, samples, and grooves form a collection of production skills that rival any of today's hottest producers." [JEFF QUIMBY: A&R MANAGER - INTEGRITY LABEL GROUP]

"I had a great experience working with Worldwide Groove Corporation... They have the ability of making each string arrangement sound different and appropriate for each song. They really captured the imagery I wanted to convey in my songs... they were willing to take risks in doing non-traditional arrangements... I would recommend them to anyone as people who are easy to work with, original, and very professional." [TODD SMITH: ARTIST - CURB RECORDS]

"Worldwide Groove Corporation is always right on target - they've nailed the music on several projects, always elevating the material... They're easy to work with - responsive and very collaberative..." [KEN CARPENTER: FRANKLIN FILMS]

"As a full service production company serving clients nationwide, we have cultivated relationships with individuals and companies who do excellent work in all phases of creative. For music production, Worldwide Groove Corporation have become one of our primary resources for a number of reasons. First, they are both musically gifted. Second, they understand how to interpret a rough description from a "layman", and turn out a track that is right on target. Third, their compositions and arrangements are rich... I simply enjoy engaging in the creative process with them... they bring great ideas to every project and are always willing to be flexible and adaptable to ensure the final product makes the client happy." [LARRY ROY: POINT 3 ANIMATION]

"I have worked with many producers in my ten years in business, and I have always enjoyed working with Worldwide Groove Corporation. Their talent, enthusiasm, and management of the productions they create for my clients have always exceeded everyone's expectations..." [STEVE WILLIAMS: MARKETIMAGE]
