Mix Engineer / Producer

I've been fortunate enough to work with Ricky Watts for nearly a decade. Not only is he a skilled, intuitive, collaborative engineer and producer, he is also a genuinely lovely human being. Ricky has already worked on 3 separate projects with me, exceeding my expectations each time, and is currently mixing our fourth project, remixing and thoroughly improving an album I did in 2020. He is the first person I reach out to when I need expert mixing! Yes, you should absolutely work with him. Just, get in line!

Ricky is a wizard in the studio AND in a live setting. I’ve tracked numerous songs with him leading the way in the producer/engineer chair and he’s always helped my songs grow to new heights with invaluable input and extensive technical knowledge.

In a live setting he’s unmatched. When I’m on stage and Ricky is behind the board, I know the audience is about to hear every nuanced detail to the performance thanks to his impeccable ear and artistry. Not to mention he’s an absolute monster musician himself and a complete joy to work with.

Ricky is a talented mixer who is meticulous on his workflow and is with there to guide you through the entire mixing process. He is happy to share his creative choices while also pushing the artist to create the best possible recording for the best possible outcome. 5/5 will continue to work with Ricky as my go to mixer
