Hi, I'm Boris Melnikov and I am a music producer, do remote mixing and mastering. I am also a session bass player. I also do composing, programming, and sound design. Working in genres: electronic, rock, pop, orchestral soundtracks.
I have been working as a music producer, composer and beatmaker for about 5 years. I can offer you my services, write you a track, a beat, a soundtrack.
I graduated from elementary music school specializing in piano, but became interested in guitar and bass guitar. So therefore, for 10 years I have already considered myself a bass guitarist. I offer you my services as a bass guitarist or pianist. I can easily come up with the parts of the whole track.
At the university, I decided to finally change my profession and go into music. But when I took my first steps, I realized that I want my music to sound cool, so I began to study hard to sound engineering. That's why I work as a sound engineer. For 4 years he worked in parallel as a concert and studio sound engineer. Got a lot of experience. And I came to understand many things
In the last couple of years. I decided to try myself as a music producer. Carry out a project to create a track from a scratch for my customers. And I will say everyone is happy with the results.
I love to write orchestral compositions for films and cartoons, I also do sound design.
I hope after reading all this you will want to cooperate with me. I would be very happy about that!
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

It was extremely easy to work with Boris on our song 'Faded'
He understood what vibes I'm going for and completed the work in agreed terms. I'll happily work with Boris on more songs and maybe even an EP
Hear the song here:
