MIXING • MASTERING • PRODUCTION

For the last 20 years, I have been helping people from all over the world and from every genre make music that they are proud of. Many of them have become good friends.

I have worked with all kinds of artists from all kinds of genres and backgrounds. Whether it is recorded in a big studio or a bedroom, the goal is still the same - to bring out the artist’s vision for the song and help the production reach its full potential.

MIXING

Some people might think the artistry ends after the recording process stops. To me, mixing is an extension of your art. I am creating, with you, what the consumer eventually hears. Sure, we can get technical with your songs. But let’s not let the technical aspects blur your vision. Let’s create something that you are proud of.

MASTERING

Is it complicated? Nah. Let’s take a step back and look at your project as a whole. What can we do to add a finishing touch? Do some songs need a little sonic shift to match others? Let’s do whatever we need to do so that the project sounds intentional. I like to think of it as giving your project a last dose of confidence before we let it go.

PRODUCTION

Good music makes itself. Let’s not overcomplicate it. Vision is key. Let’s take what you’ve got and make a plan. That plan varies from project to project and artist to artist. There is no preset.

If we need help from other musicians, I got it. If we just need a good studio to go to, I got it. Whatever it may be, the goal is to bring your art alive. 

LISTEN

Here’s a playlist of some of the incredible songs I’ve been able to work on with some of the best artists around. Whether it’s through mixing, mastering, production, engineering or any combination of the four, I consider myself lucky to be involved with these songs in any way.
