I've been in the business for 20 years Producing records in the Pop, Rock and Metal Genre, Mixing & Mastering ,Composing Orchestral Midi Mockups , Recording Cover Songs for YouTube. I also offer session musician duties (Guitars, Bass , Keyboards) . I can provide professionally recorded drums by pro session musicians recorded in my studio.
I specialize in finishing songs, specifically mixing, mastering and adding additional production if needed. I also produce and have writing credits in numerous releases.
I have composed music for indie films and theatrical plays in the past but nowadays I do more Orchestral Midi Mockups for music libraries.
I can help you have a finished product of great quality fast, be it your album , a YouTube cover of your favorite song, Orchestral renditions , or even some session duties.
I'm a big believer in getting the final sound for a record during the recording process by taking the time to sculpt the right sound in the control room. I find it elevates the artists performance to ensure we capture the best take and make the song the best it can be.

Dion is a pro in every sense; working with him was a bliss to from the very beginning; his expertise goes far beyond the producer role as he recorded guitars, vocals and provided advice of many kinds, from sound design to industry experience. Our communication was always open and respectful and Dion’s feedback was effective throughout the entire project. I am really satisfied with the mixed-mastered tracks and specially the reprocessing of MIDI files.
I hope to repeat the experience soon! - check_circleVerified

One of the, if not the best music producer i have ever worked with in all of my music career. If you want a cozy and at the same time professional music production experience then this is the guy for you. Creating a record and other projects at CFN Studios was one of the best experiences in my life.
I had the pleasure to work with Dion on the recordings for my bands upcoming album. He combines expertise with creativity. He helped me realize my ideal guitar sound and brought it to life. Overall the end result was perfect.
Dion is an expert sound engineer.
Making our debut album with Lazy Man's Load was a challenge.
In order to transfer the energy of a live show into a studio album and Dion was the best to bring everything in line.
