Mixes that move people, 25+ years shaping records with Bryan-Michael Cox, Tricky Stewart, and artists heard over 4 billion times. Commercial-quality mixes that serve the song, the emotion, and the artist’s vision.
For over 25 years, I’ve helped artists transform great performances into records that connect emotionally and compete sonically. As the longtime engineer for Bryan-Michael Cox and Tricky Stewart, I’ve tracked and mixed music for some of the biggest names in R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, and Americana.
My work has been recognized with 5 Grammy Awards and has accumulated more than 4 billion streams worldwide.
Whether you’re an independent artist or an established act, I approach every mix with the same mindset: serve the song. That means enhancing emotion, creating depth, punch, and clarity while delivering a polished, commercial-quality mix that translates everywhere—from earbuds to club systems.
I believe the best mixes don’t just sound impressive—they make people feel something. Every decision I make is in service of the emotion, energy, and story of the record.
My experience spans tracking, editing, vocal production, mixing, and mastering, allowing me to solve problems quickly and keep the focus where it belongs: your music.
If you’re looking for someone who values communication, musicality, and getting the details right, I’d love to help bring your vision to life.
