Johnny Zirkel is a hard working artist who is extremely knowledgable in all aspects of music from the gear/hardware used in recording and mixing/mastering enviroments all the way too the stage for live production. He is also a stellar guitarist, singer songwriter, and performer. Alongside all his knowledge and skills he can connect with people and an audience and out of that reaping wonderful relationships.

I’ve personally worked with Johnny and we were literally able to record a track in 15 minutes after 15 min of set up. He is knowledgeable and takes great care of his clients. He is personable and enjoyable to work with. I’ve also worked on other projects with him where he spent more time helping perfect what I was aiming to do with suggestions and well thought out engineering.

Johnny is an amazing dude who is amazing at what he does. He's incredibly fun and easy to work with. We got to work with him on Sounds Of The Underground and we couldn't be happier with the results. We really hope to work with Johnny again in the future.
