Hey there! My goal is simple: to make your song sound like the song you want it to be.
Over the last fifteen years tinkering and toying around with making records, I've had the pleasure to work with some amazing artists on a variety of projects ranging from your standard vocal sessions to your large orchestras, and all the way into the weird and bizarre. I've got experience recording in world class facilities but also in the likes of garages, basements, and living rooms (which often times can be a much more fun experience).
What excites me is working on the 'song'. Seeing the singers face when they finally figure out the perfect lyric for that second verse. Or the drummer being inspired by the sounds of the construction site outside. Or the band figuring out exactly what's gonna get them that perfect take (double exciting if thats cutting the click track!!!).
Anyways, I want to get you closer not just to what you want your music to sound like but what you want your music to be.
Contact me for any info on mixing, tracking, editing, or producing. I love all sorts of music and love experimenting and pushing boundaries. Let's see where we can take your tunes. Let's see if we can make something special.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Endorse Bo Bodnar6 Reviews
I’ve worked with Bo for over 12 years on tracks, demos, and albums, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. Bo gets the artist’s vision and knows how to bring it to life with even more depth than you imagined.
For the engineering geeks, he knows tonality, signal flow, and his way around a real console. Yes, a console. That alone should make your Spidey senses tingle.
Bo knows his craft, gives every project 200%, and genuinely cares about the music. Always grateful for what we’ve created and always looking forward to the next one.
Bo was a breeze to work with throughout the mixing and production process. He had insights to the work that I never would have heard myself, and helped guide my project from demos to album!
Bo is an incredible person to work with who brings the utmost professionalism to every session we’ve collaborated on. He has a strong technical studio background while also bringing a natural sense of creativity to every project. He’s one of the easiest and most enjoyable people I’ve worked with in a studio/music setting. Highly, highly recommended!
I strongly recommend Bo as an engineer and producer. He's a wonderful collaborator who brings together creative vision and strong technical skill. Anyone looking to hire Bo will not be disappointed.

Bo is a fantastic person to work with who lets the artists drive the songs. He'll let you lean into the punk or add a HiFi sound from his experience. Strong recommendation.
