Currently a producer of the #1 album in the world "Breezy" by Chris Brown ASCAP Award Winner!! World Class Engineer for artists like Lady Gaga, Kanye, Meek Millz and Christina Aguilera
June, 24 2022 I produced on Chris Browns album "Breezy" / The song I produced called "Survive The Night" Hit #1 on Apple Music in the first day.
This is bringing me more attention than I could ever ask for. Doors are opening up and I'm currently looking for artists with amazing music that I can potentially pitch to my peers.
While assisting Legendary Mastering Engineers Eddy Schreyer & Gene Grimaldi I worked on many projects over the course of 11 years at Oasis Mastering to start my career. Some of the albums I'm proud to say I assisted on include:
>Kayne West Debut album "College Dropout"
>Lady Gaga "The Fame"
>Christina Aguilera "Self Titled" Debut Album
>System of a Down "Toxicity"
>Vanessa Carlton "Be Not Nobody"
>Akon "Trouble" and "Konvicted" plus many more between 1998 and 2010.
Meanwhile I was signed to an Independent Label Under Atlantic Records as a Producer for a few years where I was put in the studio hands on with artists like Usher, Brandy, Tyga, Ammerie, Ashanti, Melissa Ethridge, Chris Brown and J Lo.
I have my own studio in North Hollywood with gated parking that is avail for sessions.

Riley is awesome! He has great leadership skills and knows how to keep the project moving forward. Also, he is very musically sensitive and has great taste. I felt safe and confident working with him and his work partner, Donald.

I can't even count how many songs we've done together over the last 5 years. Riley is amazing to work with. Try as I might, I do not have the same singing skills and pitch as other singers. He gets me there. I really appreciate all the time he puts into tuning my vocals and making them sound amazing! 5 stars every time!

Riley is epic to work with. I'm a regular. He always delivers great recordings, time after time. He and his associates have been turning out amazing beats. He's a musical wizard and there is a lot of magic coming out of that studio! It just keeps getting better and better! 5 stars every time!

I always look forward to getting in the studio with Riley. He is a freaking wizard! I sing my vocals then watch him chop, sweeten, enhance, embellish, and polish until it's a great song. He works so fast sometimes I just sit back in amazement. It's like magic. He's got the skills! Can't wait to do the next one. 5 stars every time!

Undoubtedly the most talented person you will ever work with. I've used Riley for every song after he made my first one, because you can't go back once you've worked with him before. If you've literally just got vocals and a chord progression, Riley can turn it into something that will give you goosebumps it's that good. Similarly if you want him to just clean up something you've done he'll take it to that next level and beyond. I can't recommend him enough 100/10

So the original plan was to have Riley produce one track. He absolutely blew my mind and here we are 5 tracks later and he impresses me just as much every single time. He literally never has a day off and goes above and beyond until you're 100% satisfied. Get Riley on your track if you're serious about your music. 1000000/10

Riley is so masterful at bringing out the best aspects of my voice. He diligently tunes and adds effects until the roughness of my voice is polished like a diamond. Each song is a textural soundscape of vocal and musical hooks. Thanks Stellar Riley! 5 stars every time!

Riley produced this track as well as recording my vocals. This music grabbed me from the first time I heard it. A little bit water, a little bit sand and sun .... Oasis! I'm so pleased with the way my vocals turned out. Like a voice calling across the desert caravan. Very dreamy with those mesmerizing beats!! I absolutely love working with Riley. 5 stars every time!

Riley and I have been working together for years! We're in studio just about every month. I look forward to it so much! His productions are so rich with layers of texture that tantalize the ear. I love a great dance track and this one seems like something you would listen to at a pool party or resort retreat. This will be such a great addition to my upcoming album. 5 stars every time!

I can honestly say that Riley is the most talented person I have ever worked with. He won't settle until it's of the highest quality and takes your song to levels you couldn't think of. All-round nice guy as well and very easy to work with. I'd highly recommend

Riley and I have been working together since 2017. We have done multiple albums together. He brings out the best in my voice. He is also a amazing producer. His productions are addictive to listen to with layers of elements that hook the ear and keep the listener engaged. He's great to work with and the studio is comfortable and clean. I'm looking forward to the next and the next. Five stars every time!

I am working as a singer since more than 20 years and Riley is the first producer who touched my heart and my passion as musician with his very clear instructions and helped me to get the best feeling out of my voice. If I met him in person, I believe the result would even exceed this amazing production. Riley was super patient with all my expectations and took the time on the journey to this outstanding result of my heart song. THANK YOU RILEY for this great collab! You are the BEST!

Another awesome song with Riley. He finds the best moments of my voice and tunes and smoothes the rough spots. We've been working together since 2017. I always know I'm going to be happy with the results. It still amazes me how quickly he can edit. He is a true pro that loves making fresh music. 5 stars every time!
