John Francis is a mixer, Producer, recordist, who has worked with a wide range of A-list clients over the past 28 years. From chart-topping artists such as Bobby Brown, & Whitney Houston to smaller independent bands, he's done it all. He was a staff engineer at Horizon Music Group for 15 years and in that time he worked on projects with Matt Guitar Murphy, Orrin Bolton, War Brothers,!0000 Days, Fighting Confession, DIRT, HRT, Licshot, Coke Kev, Arika Kane
Once I have the vision for where a record wants to go, I just get on board, take whatever risks necessary to preserve that identity and refuse to tone it down with "the safe thing " Some of my favorite mixing moves in the studio have been serendipitous. The key is to create an environment where these things can happen." and just let em happen, Its your Heart and Soul, I want to make it part of You!
