Less than 5% of audio engineers and producers are women -- but I'm here to change that. I've been on all sides of the industry -- as a singer/songwriter, session musician, and as mixer/engineer/producer. I spend about half of my time producing and mixing songs for TV/film and ads, and half of my time working with singer-songwriters. Let's do this!
