Nelly on SoundBetter

I track raw, emotional vocals with a Robert Smith/Chino Moreno vibe, layer guitars in weird tunings, and mix everything through a UAD rig dialed for mood, punch, and space. If your stuff leans alt, industrial, electronic, or just off-center, I’ll meet you there and help shape it without polishing it to death.

I’m Nelly, a producer, vocalist, and mix engineer who grew up on Deftones, Muse, The Cure. I’ve been at this since the '90s, played live with acts like Death From Above 1979 and Strung Out, and now work out of a Mac-based UAD studio dialing in mixes that don’t sound like everyone else’s.

My vocals range from soft and eerie to loud and broken. I work with 7 and 8 string guitars tuned low and weird, blended with synth and drum programming that’s more about feel than flash. Whether it's industrial, alt-rock, or something experimental, I focus on tension, space, and movement.

I can track vocals, arrange synths, play guitars, or just mix it clean. No ego, no hype. Cheers!

    Elijah is a great guy who writes awesome music! Until now, I've had the pleasure of recording drums for two of his songs and the process was as smooth as it can be! Quick response time and very clear about what he wanted! Anytime again!
