Hi there! My name is Jeroen Egge a.k.a. Yung Roen, an all-round studio professional based Amsterdam (NL). My main focus is producing and mixing guitar driven music, but I also enjoy working as a recording and mastering engineer and as session guitar & bass player. Feel free to contact me any time to help you achieve the sound you desire!
With over 10 years of experience in the music industry, I like working with both big international music professionals as well as local upcoming talent. When I’m working with an artist I really focus on their vision and defining their sound and identity. I often find that this part of the creative process is overlooked.
Working with upcoming artists and helping them develop their sound is something I enjoy very much. When you come to me with an idea, I can help you from start to finish: from writing and arranging, to producing and mixing as well as distributing and marketing.
I get inspired by all types of music and I don’t work genre specific. Most of my work over the last years has focused on rock, pop, hip-hop, singer songwriter and americana. My style is influenced by American rock. Not overly edited but still with a live vibe to it and an overall smooth and polished sound.
When we start our collaboration I want to try and understand your vision and the goal of the final product. Once we agree on the sound, you will receive a first edit within 4 to 5 business days. We then discuss changes that need to be made. The final edit will take another 4 to 5 business days.
I work freelance in a couple of studios in the Netherlands. I try to match the right studio to the sound of the artists I work with. Most of the mixing is done from my home studio.

Best on SoundBetter- love Yung's style and mixes. 10/10 will 100% work with again
check_circleVerifiedYung Roen is a fantastic mixing engineer and the three times that I have worked with him have proven successful. Thanks to Yung Roen, I am able to hear my songs the way I dream them to sound. I highly recommend working with Yung Roen.
check_circleVerifiedJeroen is diligent, patient, helpful and in the perfect know of what he does well and that is mixing w/mastering. I appreciate his valuable comments concerning the field of sound engineering in general and uncovering things which are new to me as a manager. Thank you for smooth cooperation!

Yung Roen was able to mix my song exactly how I imagined it before even the recording stage. He is very fast but not at all inefficient... I encourage people to work with Yung Roen, who mixed my song “Chasing you” by South Bend Drive and soon to be released “Fade the Blue” by South Bend Drive

Yung Roen was amazing to work with, I got exactly the sound I wanted and he was very fast but not in any way sloppy in the way he mixed and mastered my song. I am grateful that I was able to communicate with Yung Roen and work with him and I plan on continuing to work with him!

Great creative input and great knowledge, highly recommend!!!!
check_circleVerifiedI had the pleasure to work with Jeroen on my first song. Great communication and I'm happy with the results. Hope to work together in the near future!
Amazing producer with great musical ear for detail. I have worked with Jeroen on various projects with Jeroen being a producer, and on other projects with Jeroen as a session guitar player. An allround great human being with a genuine positive vibe!
Such a nice working with Jeroen!
From test mix to final mix top notch conversation and tempo and: patience (on his side!)
Clear recommendation! And the show goes on...
I needed music for my promotional video and Yung Roen composed and produced the perfect song to accompany my message. He made sure the music got to my video editor in time and in the right format. I would definitely work with him again!
Our job was picked up quickly by Jeroen, with good results. Communication was smooth as well. A satisfied customer!
Great mixing engineer, I provided some feedback and he delivered the track fast and adjusted exactly as I meant.
Jeroen knows how to make a record, absolutely no compromises with his work. Great producers can make your music even better, and Jeroen is one of the best I've have worked with!
Interview with Yung Roen
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Project Blue Book - Greatest Hits I. We built a recording studio in his bedroom in the center of Amsterdam and recorded and mixed a whole album from within that tiny little space.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: The pre-production of the debut album for a very talented Dutch upcoming artist. Hope to show more here in the future!
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Ariel Chobaz, he mixed and mastered a song I produced and it turned out really great.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'm a man of my word. I honor the agreement we make before starting the project. If things change, that is no problem, but we have to change our agreements, of course. So everybody is on the same page.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The creative process and the variety of work and clients.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: The most common question I get is: "Is this possible." My answer is: "Yes. The possibilities in audio are limitless!"
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: How do you want to sound like and what is story you want to tell with your music?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Try to find someone for the job that understands your vision and knows how to get your vision across to the audience.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Fender Telecaster, my iMac, UAD Apollo, Marhall amplifier en my Lewitt LCT 940. Then I still can record there!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started off playing guitar in lots of bands in my teenage years and ended up studying audio engineering at SAE Amsterdam. Now I am working for over 10 years as a professional audio engineer/producer.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is influenced by American rock, not overly edited and has still a live vibe on it, but overall a smooth and polished sound.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Foo Fighters: I would just love to see Dave Grohl recording and learn from him
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly guitar driven music; from singer songwriter to rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Translation the artists vision to an actual song or sound.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: As little as possible; I tend tot try and artist be the center of attention, without adding too much.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First of all I want to know what drives an artist, what's their particular vision and what they want to sound like. Als what's very import for me is what the goal of the recording is. Do you want a hit record or do you just want to release something on Spotify? With that information I try to produce and/or mix their work according to their wishes.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work freelance in a couple of studios in the Netherlands (I try to match the right studio to the sound of the artists I work with) and mixing is done a lot lot from my home studio. This home studio runs Pro Tools and UAD Apollo.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Rick Rubin: because he is not afraid to think outside of the box Dave Grohl: he's a rock star, but still down to earth
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing, mastering and production
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: This totally depends on the demand of the client and the song. Sometimes digital works better and sometimes analog. I personally prefer digital for a faster workflow, but nothing beats a nice analog chain.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Fixing it in the mix. The whole chain has to be good, starting with a good song, good recording, god mix and finally a good master.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Just listen really good and let the music tell you what to do.
