Kilproduction Audio on SoundBetter

I provide rock & metal mixing & mastering services. I do also editing and other audio work. Being a musician myself, I know how important the music is for the artist, so I work always as hard as I can to make sure you get what you're looking for. Contact me and let me know about your project. Looking forward working with you!

Hello! My name is Juho and I'm a songwriter, guitarist, singer and music producer from Finland. I have been involved with music since I got my first guitar in 2002, and yet I find myself working on music in a way or another, more than ever. Metal music was my initial driving interest when I started and it is still the music style, which I'm the most enthusiastic about, while I find lighter genres more and more enjoyable every time I have a chance to work on them.

In my early years I gained most of my music production experience by writing, recording, mixing and mastering my own music. The main genre of my own music has been progressive, modern metal, but lately it has expanded to orchestral and production music as well as jazz, big band and electronic influenced music. This includes writing, recording, mixing and mastering dozens and dozens of song demos as well as several EPs and full length albums.

During the recent years I've taken my passion and genuine enthusiasm towards music much more seriously by working more and more on it, and I can really tell it has developed my craft a lot within a relatively short period of time. In 2019 I started to offer my mixing and mastering services online. By now, I have been appreciative to work with dozens of clients and receive only positive feedback. Looking forward to working with you too!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
