Yang did an amazing job on recording, mixing and mastering. He is excellent in work ethics, he is very professional and delivers the highest industry standard. Yang always exceeded my expectations. He is my #1 mixing engineer and I will be working with him for many years to come!
I was lucky enough to work with Yang in NYC a few times before he moved back to Singapore to build his own empire! I got to experience Yang in his capacity of being a very talented drummer, audio engineer, and mix wizard. His technical skills and expertise are unmatched, and he's got a sense of integrity in everything he does. He's always looking out for the artist, and he's helped me think through doing what's best for me and my project. Super trustworthy human, with insane talent. I would highly recommend working with Yang on any creative endeavor!

I have worked with Yang for 5 years and he’s always been my first choice for any kind of audio engineering and mixing work. He’s is very professional, easy to work with, and always goes above and beyond to enable my vision for a song to become reality. I have recommended his services to many, and will continue to do so.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: This was my very first EP production that i was hired for after graduating. I was hired as producer, recording and mixing engineer by Category 9, a boston based rock n roll band. The reason why i was proud of it is, we definitely worked with what we had at that point, which was actually not much. But we made it work and I consider it as one of my proudest works.
