J-Path on SoundBetter

I've been producing, mixing, and mastering music for over 20 years in various genres. For the past 5 years, I've been sharing my skills with other artists as I was very reluctant to do before. However, it turns out everyone I've come across seems to be chuffed about the result they are getting! So here I am putting my service available!

Hey, I'm Jung, also known as J-Path. I've been producing music for over 20 years.
I'm currently based in Seoul, South Korea, but I've lived in Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, and the UK throughout my life.

For a long time, I hesitated to offer my services, unsure if any artists would actually need them. However, the pandemic completely shifted my perspective. I began connecting with other artists online, and after thoroughly communicating with them and their requirements, I’ve come to realize that my unique way of perceiving music, along with my ability to understand what a song truly needs—beyond just technical expertise—can be valuable in collaboration.

I provide production, mixing, and mastering services with a strong enthusiasm for quality. I'm open-minded, curious, and always eager to bring out the best in every track. If you're looking to elevate your song, feel free to reach out!

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.
