    Always great collaboration as well. For me as a producer it is important to get the absolute best TOP NOTCH from a mix. TJ can do that with "flying colours" no doubt with his mastering skills, thanks bro!

    TJ is a pro engineer and immediately got the sound I was going for! He had a positive energy and was welcoming to any notes I had, which was little since he saw and executed the vision I had. Def would recommend!

    10/10 job as always, TJ is insanely good at what the does. The only one I fully trust to deliver commercial standard vocal mixes. He will really give you that pro, radio ready sound

    TJ did a fantastic job diagnosing what my track needed and executing properly! He was patient with me while I scraped together the funds for the job and even started the mix and gave me previews before I was able to pay!

    Leaving this review because I want everyone to know how awesome TJ is. What makes him awesome, you ask? lol
    Well... he understood the vision of where I wanted to go from the gate, and nailed in one take (no revisions). I am vocalist and composer and honestly I hear so much in my head that it's difficult to limit what I put in my songs. TJ finessed the song, brought order and made it live. The results exceeded expectations. I am over the moon, but also relieved to find him. More to come!!

    I haven't worked with any other engineers since I found TJ. Quick turn around time and the product is always fantastic. I have no words for how great of a job he does every single time. Don't look any further, I promise, just choose TJ.
