My expertise is making rock music sound heavy in a natural way. Drums will not sound like gunshots every single time and vocals will not sound like T-pain. In my mixes, it is heard that real musicians, not machines, made art. Have a listen at my portfolio and see if you like what you hear!

    Awesome mix, punchy drums and a good overall balance in the mix.
    Mixed with the right attitude that the song needed.

    I'm coming back to John for sure for the next mixes

    John is easy to communicate with. He seems to quickly understand what you are looking for. Furtermore he works fast and delivers quality. He nailed it the second mix but who delivers the final mix in the first attempt right?! Great job John I will surely come back

    John came to me with a great song. Cool lyrics, great melody and wonderful production overall. He let me bring things to the table and work with a lot of freedom. I believe that the result is great and can't wait to finish the final version. I'm really looking forward to working with John again.
