About Us
CNA Productions — short for Cranford and Alvarado — was founded out of a deep love for music and a shared vision to elevate the artist experience. Built by musicians, for musicians, our mission is simple: deliver world-class music production while creating a thriving, supportive network for artists and creatives.
We specialize in track production, live playback engineering, musical direction, and assembling professional bands for a wide range of performance scenarios — from concerts and tours to award shows and music video shoots.
Our founders, Lucas Alvarado (Berklee Class of 2024), and Brayden Cranford (Berklee College of Music, Class of 2027), met in 2024 after performing together. That collaboration quickly grew into a close friendship and a shared vision. Since then, CNA Productions has become a creative home for musicians who are serious about their craft and looking for consistent, meaningful work.
With recent credits including major events like Music City Midtown (2023), Governors Ball (2025), and Boston Calling (2025), CNA is quickly becoming a trusted name in the live music and production world.
At CNA Productions, we don't just produce music — we build experiences, careers, and lasting creative partnerships.
Your sound, reimagined.
