Artist, songwriter, and mixing engineer with 1.5M+ streams and a feature on BBC’s The Rap Game UK. An artist for the artists delivering industry standard projects that connect.
My name is J Deas (Sixty5). I’m an artist, songwriter, and mixing engineer with 1.5M+ streams on music mixed & mastered by me, and a feature on BBC’s The Rap Game UK. I built my ear by producing, mixing, and releasing my own songs, so I know how a track should feel as well as how it should sound and I care about every minor detail.
Services:

- Mastering
- Vocal tuning
- Songwriting / support — lyrics, melodies, structure, ad-lib ideas
Every track receives the same time, attention to detail and care as my own music.

Interview with J Deas
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My release 'Loyal' was used a soundtrack for the Netflix series 'Champion'
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is to treat every track like it's my own, with the highest attention to detail and care to make sure clients are 100% satisfied and ready to release.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the satisfaction I get when creative visions come to life, it never gets old.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's your vision for the song? What emotion are you trying to portray? Do you have any reference artist/songs in line with your vision?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Find someone who truly cares and wants to get the best out of your music
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Started writing & recording my own tracks as a solo artist in 2015. Before joining Sixty5, I began mixing and mastering all my own releases, now 5 years on I mix and master for other artists and offer the same industry standard.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't overcomplicate it, feel the music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is understanding every part of the production process from initial idea, to writing, recording, mixing and mastering. I've got 10 years experience following this full process independently for my own music.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I quickly identify the emotion of the track I'm mixing and how it's supposed to make the listener feel, whether it's heartfelt and sad, uplifting and happy etc. Every part of the track is then mixed to elevate and express that emotion to the listener.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I've built my own home studio from scratch with a huge library of plugins. I occasionally finalise mixes in a professional studio but most of the time my own studio is perfect all round.
