J. JUVEN on SoundBetter

I'm here to help with your mixing and music production needs. My attention to detail is comparable to none and hope thru our connection we can create a couple hits!

Based out of Queens, NY, J. JUVEN is a music producer/mixer/audio engineer with 5+ years of experience. His production style; a cataclysmic clash of dark, moody and thumping 808s, Juven took inspiration from the greats before him like Timbaland, Dj Toomp and Easy Mo Bee to name a few. J. Juven began producing while in College but his musical aspirations started earlier in life when he joined his school and church bands. J. JUVEN is a multi instrumentalist with his earliest memories of creating melodies while playing the clarinet & creating beats and grooves playing both the bongos and congas. He has also interned with Sean C & LV, producers who have crafted many BadBoy records over the years. J. JUVEN has crafted a lane for his mixing and beats and is on the cusp of taking over the music industry.

I’ve been working with J Juven under the group Aight Boom. He’s knowledgeable when it comes to music production and mixing. I trust him when it comes to handling music, and you should too.

Have been working with James for a very long time. Very good at what he does - no doubt about it. And competition is stiff, so if you want the best you're definitely getting your money's worth with him. Greatly recommended.

Been working with Juven since 2016 and he's easily one of my favorite producers! Professional, unique sound, patient, and efficient. You won't regret teaming up with him! Best work with him now before the price goes up!
