As a producer McCain honed his skills by studying and working with multi platinum & Grammy winning producers and engineers such as Howard Benson (Daughtry, 3 Days Grace, Green Day), Chris Lord-Alge (Prince, Madonna), and Ryan Greene (Megadeth, Jay-Z). As a songwriter McCain signed to one of the biggest publishing companies in the world, Warner Chappell Music / Warner Bros. Through that deal he worked closely with songwriters who have written with artists such as Shinedown, Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw and many more.
