Shortwave is a Los Angeles– and Nashville-based mixing engineer focused on musical, human mixes with clarity, balance, and feel. Credits include studio work associated with projects reaching hundreds of millions of streams collectively, across song- and performance-focused music.
Shortwave works remotely with artists worldwide, bringing a steady, song-first approach to the final stage of the record. The focus is on translation rather than transformation — helping performances speak clearly and emotionally without overproduction or trend-driven choices.
Experience includes studio mixing on projects with hundreds of millions of streams collectively, as well as long-standing work around high-level artists and musicians such as Michael McDonald, Toto, Jackson Browne, Lindsey Buckingham, and Randy Newman.
Additional credits and collaborations include Mumford & Sons, Jon Brion, The Milk Carton Kids, Madison Cunningham, and Leah Dou, along with respected artists in the country and Americana space including Marty Stuart and Connie Smith.
All mixes are handled personally, with clear communication and a collaborative revision process. Notes are welcomed and treated seriously, with the goal of arriving at a finished mix efficiently while staying true to the song and the artist’s intent.
