Hi There, my name is Reuben Jones, I'm a proud Non-Binary Mixing Engineer, Multi Instrumentalist, Producer, and Songwriter based in Northern England with my very own Beechtree Studios at my disposal for all projects and creations. I have worked with many artists and bands in all areas of music as a session player with artists such as This Winter Machine and Evie Gallagher, as a Songwriter with Big Rooster Jeff, Vandi Lynnae Enzor, and many local artists, and as Mixer/Producer with Max Marzipan and Pavel Rusev's Senses Reel as well as mixing many of my own song covers and originals, and occasionally playing on and producing and mixing several projects including Max Marzipan's debut album and Pavel Rusev's Senses Reel Debut EP!

Mix-wise I feel most at home mixing live instruments, specifically live drums, never using drum samples, but also love mixing all genres including electronic and EDM music, I love the power and intensity of live instruments and specifically enjoy creating you the most powerful hard hitting mixes possible!

I play and have access to a wide range of instruments including piano, organ, drums, bass, guitar, saxophone, and flute
