Indie, rock, or pop, I prioritize your music, with years of experience and a passion for the art. Let's work together to create something special that reflects your artistic vision.

As a musician, producer, and mixing engineer based in the UK, I have built a successful career in the music industry. I first gained recognition with my band HONEYMOAN, where I was responsible for mixing and producing all of our released music. Our music has since garnered over 15 million streams and we have toured extensively throughout the EU/UK.

With my experience and skills, I have gone on to produce and mix for numerous artists in South Africa. My approach centers on bringing the artist's vision to life, creating a sound that is unique and authentic to them. By working closely with each artist, I am able to understand their style and craft a production that captures the essence of their artistry.

I would love to hear some of your music. Feel free to send me an mp3 of something you’d like mixed for review. I look forward to hearing from you.

Mr Berry is a brilliant producer, sound engineer and mix engineer. Highly recommend working with him. He is not only talented but also a genuine human being who cares about the music he creates and works on, which reflects in the quality of his work.

Josh is stellar when it comes to anything pop/indie/rock. He effortlessly carries over his in depth knowledge of sound engineering into his production sessions, which results in sounds and stylistic choices that deeply resonate with intended brief and feel of the track. I initially approached Josh to collaborate on production for a personal project and after working together over the past year he is now my go to collaborator for all personal projects as well as my go for mixing engineer for any outside clients in need of high quality and fast turn arounds. His work ethic and ear is unmatched.

Josh and I have worked together for the past year. He has assisted with mixing and production on numerous tracks I’ve produced or written.

When working with Josh I feel like he really makes the effort and takes the time to understand my creative ideas and helps me express them with clarity and character.

His mixes and productions provoke excitement and are clear, tight and punchy.

Josh is punctual, efficient and an excellent communicator and very hard working.

Josh focuses on making your track unique, what makes your music tick. He is very conscious of

We first approached Josh as we were launching a new project. We had demos and ideas, but Josh played a crucial role as our '5th member'. He helped us sort through the mess and refine our tracks into a body of coherent sound. What I really enjoyed was Josh's decisiveness - he knows what he likes and how to get there! - but I also found him very open to conversation and compromise when band politics boiled over.
