Justin Forshaw Productions on SoundBetter

I have been in the music industry for a decade now. I got my start playing guitar for Atlantic Records recording artist "We As Human" and fully realized my passion for production and song crafting while working with some of the biggest names in the rock world. I own and operate a studio in the Pacific Northwest.

I offer a wide range of services but love song production and mix engineering. Please let me know how I can partner with you to make your creative vision come to life.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
