Rock Mixer/Producer/Guitarist

I mix and produce guitar-driven rock with an ear for big choruses, strong arrangements and memorable hooks. From mixes to full production to guitar solos and overdubs, I can help take your song from a rough demo to a finished record.

I've spent more than 30 years writing, recording and performing original rock music. I'm a songwriter first, and that shapes how I mix and produce: I'm listening for the hook, arrangement, dynamics and emotional impact as much as balance, punch, depth and clarity. I want a mix to sound finished without sanding away the personality that made the recording interesting in the first place.

If your track needs more than a mix, I can also provide additional production. That might mean restructuring a section, strengthening a transition, creating guitar or bass parts, programming drums, adding textures and ear candy, or simply recognizing what needs to come out. I can also build full instrumental productions from a demo when needed.

My original music has received commercial rock radio airplay, and my band was nominated for a New England Music Award. I've shared bills with Seether, Deftones, Damn Yankees and Jackyl, and I've played lead guitar in professional productions of Jesus Christ Superstar.

I'm most at home with alternative rock, indie rock, hard rock and power pop, drawing from artists like Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Failure, Wet Leg, Sweet Pill, David Bowie, and Royal Blood.
