check_circleVerifiedMark did another fab and awesome job on a song i gave him to embellish...All I had was a guitar riff and a vocal and he put some great modern instrumentation around it to optimise the track..I have signed a lot of his work to Music Libraries/ Sync Agencies already
check_circleVerifiedReally enjoyed working with Mark. My track was partially produced, but needed a couple more elements, and a good mix and master. We discussed it back and forth and had good communication, and the track started to really shine better and better! Once we got the magic down, we did some small lite tweaks and adjustments, and it was perfect, and ready for release. I must say I especially enjoyed the mix, and the vocal processing. I plan on coming back with another project to work on together soon.

i gave Mark the song but needed him to put all the pieces together in a modern EDM fashion which he did brilliantly.very impressed with Sound Quality at the end and very balanced Mix.He works quickly also to deadline.Recommed.I'm looking forward to next Project already
Mark is all around, hands down, one of the best producers and engineers I have worked with. He transforms demos into professional top 40 level sonics. I love working with him as producer and engineer.
This is my third album with Mark. The dude is incredible. Let him work his magic. His recording, audio engineering, and mixing skills are unmatched. He hears things on the track that no one else does, and his musicality/music theory/producing knowledge add so much value to any record. Highly recommended!
I have worked in studios all over the united states. Mark is one of the most talented producers and one of the best audio engineers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Trust me he will give you an amazing product!
A passionate individual who is more than willing to go above and beyond for quality and thats just what this industry needs. Someone who has a vast recollection of music to pull from and add their expertise. Consistent and a great motivator to get the best out of your song. I couldn't recommend this man enough!
Mark is beyond amazing! Each session I explain what kind of sound I’m going for and he creates something that is exactly what I want. It’s nice to know that you can give him one idea, and he’ll run far with it. He’s professional, quick and an overall great producer. He hears and points out things that I would have never noticed! I highly recommend booking a session with him, you won’t regret it! :)
Mark is a phenomenal!....really has the ear to pretty much handle any type of music. Had an awesome time watching him mix and master some of our music. would definitely recommend him to other artists. he is very studio-friendly, warm, very approachable, and definetley an expert in what he does!!!... cheers !! ....jaydev(ash)
Mark has been great to work with. He is very professional and got the job done in no time. We had a recording session and he offered to edit the vocals and comp them accordingly. I highly recommend anyone to work with Mark!
