Chris Paxton on SoundBetter

With 18 years of experience as a Audio Engineer I ensure your expectations will be surpassed. I have experience in all genres but my specialty is Hip-Hop, EDM and other Alternative-driven genres. Over the years I've been trusted to engineer songs from artists such as Kamaiyah, Juice WRLD, Kreyshawn, Method Man and Too Short.

To some, Chris Paxton is a precise and technologically advanced producer. His rapid ascent from studio-acolyte-to-wizard spanned all levels of the Bay Area’s worldly-influential music scene. He possesses a rare combination of contagious ambition and amphibious funkiness, ingredients which provide the inspiration to make countless hits. Since 2004, Paxton’s musical home Nexus Audio has been the site of some incredible recordings- Kreayshawn’s “Gucci Gucci” and Kamaiyah’s “A Good Night In The Ghetto” are first on the short list. And while he has made quite a name for himself working with established artists, Chris has continued to develop the sound and careers of many other amazing artists on the precipice.
To the people of the future, Paxton may take on a whole new meaning, as new trails are blazed and new projects bare fruit. This year alone has plenty in store, including a summertime album release from Kung Fu Vampire and the debut project from Jazz Mafia affiliate Heaviest Feather. Also on deck for 2020, a collaborative album with Goddess Rap luminary Dakini Star, and EPs with anti-folk songstress Margalee and Kung Fu Vampire. Along with this seemingly full schedule, Chris has been busy readying a solo set combining his prodigious DJ and Drummer talents. As he continues to celebrate new milestones, Paxton keeps re-establishing and redefining the musical world around him

    Chris is an incredible mixing and mastering engineer with a true sense for emotion, atmosphere, and quality. I worked with him on my very first song, and he not only understood my vision but elevated it to a whole new level. He was always patient, open to feedback, and worked on my track with real passion. You can tell that music truly matters to him – this wasn’t just a service, it was a genuine collaboration. I’m already looking forward to our next project. Thank you for everything, Chris!
