I produce, record, and mix for the indie pop group Branches (34.44M streams on Spotify since 2015) as well as perform banjo, mandolin, and guitars with the band live. I am a multi-instrumentalist and create professional recordings both out of my home studio and other rooms around California.
Music Production, Film Composition, Song Remix, Remote Mixing, Remote Session Work on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, classical guitar, banjo, and mandolin.

Endorse Jacob Montague
Jacob is a very talented composer with the ability to adapt easily to any project need. We used him on a bunch of projects last year and recommended him to other production companies. Highly recommended for projects of all shapes and sizes!
Jacob is a talented multi instrumentalist with a kind heart. He’s recorded, mixed and mastered music for me at incredible quality and speed. I’m very thankful for his services and I hope to use his talents again soon.
Jacob is the best! He’s easy to work with and I don’t think there has been something he’s made that I haven’t liked. He always comes up with new sounds just when I think I’ve heard them all and I’m consistently blown away by his talent! Such a no brainer to work with jake!
I’ve worked with Jacob on about a dozen different sessions and every time it’s been a stellar experience. He has a track record of finding the right tones and getting great takes when when he’s behind the board. And as a collaborator / co-producer, he has a knack for writing parts that bring a song to completion. I highly recommend him!
I've worked with Jacob a number of times and there's a clear reason why. He's both an immensely talented composer and a wonderful person to work with. He always does an outstanding job and makes the process easy. He's one of my favorite collaborators.
Working with Jacob was a professional and successful experience, he composed three tracks for three different videos simultaneously and made it easy for me to communicate with him as a non-musician. I'd absolutely recommend working with Jacob!
Jacob is a frequent collaborator and exceptionally talented and unique composer and producer. His work will always elevate any project.
