Hi, I’m Paul — a veteran producer, engineer, and mixer with over 40 years in the music industry. I’ve produced or engineered eleven RIAA-certified Gold or Platinum records. My client list includes Durand Jones & The Indications, Iggy Pop, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, The Fray, Facebook, Sony, and DreamWorks.
I started my journey fronting the punk band The Zero Boys, and over the decades I’ve brought that same DIY energy and deep musical intuition to projects across every genre. From indie passion projects to major-label releases, I bring a collaborative spirit, fast turnaround, and decades of expertise to every mix.
Clients trust me to enhance their sound without losing their voice, whether it’s a raw garage band, a seasoned songwriter, or a commercial campaign. Let’s create something that will stand the test of time.
Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.
