Need mixing, [analog] mastering?... I'm here to help get your project sounding ready for a world wide audience. I'm an ASCAP award-winning producer, engineer, songwriter and audio alchemist for hire. My clients range from RocNation and UMG, to Output Inc., Empire, United Masters and more. Tap in for mixing + analog mastering.

I'm a mixing / mastering engineer, producer, and songwriter... overall a scientist of sound, and personal resource for your next music project.

My music industry background spans from New York, to the Mid-West, and now to California, USA. I started my career at Def Jam & Capitol Records, which led to work at some of NYC's legendary studios, including The Mastering Palace, ROC the Mic, KMA, Crosby Collective. I've since worked in studios throughout CA, such as 25th Rec., Westlake, and Blakeslee.. Engineered on projects for NO.I.D., Snoh Alegra, Jon Batiste, Aluna [formerly of Aluna George], Kalan FrFr, and RM47.

I now own & operate a studio in LA w/ recent works from the likes of Grammy winning producers/mixers including Hitboy, Jaycen Joshua, Ben Thomas, BankRollGotIt, David Yung Kim, and more.

Sonic quality is a huge factor in helping musicians tell their story. As an audio enthusiast / gear collector / music lover, I utilize my deep level of experience, refined audio techniques & cutting-edge technnology to help enhance an array of music/audio projects.

At our LA studio I run an analog / digital hybrid setup feat. SSL Duality SE, Pro Tools HD, Logic Pro, FL Studio, and analog outboard gear by: Dangerous, Neve, Shadow Hills, Millennia, Burl, Manley, API, Kush Audio, Harrison, and more.
