Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with Hookmeister

Co-writer/guitarist for Yellow Pearl (Dutch Song Festival finalists) & 500+ live shows deep, I'm Viktor—aka Hookmeister. I produce gritty, melodic alt-rock with big hooks, bold guitar & punchy bass lines. From raw idea to final mix, I shape tracks that cut through and connect.

Dubbed the “Hookmeister” by one California Bay Area recording engineer, Laurel’s knack for framing the tone of a track and creating infectious melodies has saved more than one client’s song from the chopping block.

I am an attentive perfectionist, welcome.

To help indie artists and bands before, during (and, in some cases, after) their time in the studio, regardless of the stage they are at in their career. Our passion is to analyze those needs musically (song choice, arrangements, production, etc.) and professionally (stage, social media marketing, music placement, etc.)

I am available to record remote drumset and/or percussion tracks for your project right here at Aviarium Studios! My deliverables to you will include professionally recorded and edited multitracks, at the sample rate and bit depth that you and your mixing engineer require.

I've been on the radio and worked with a saxophonist that played with Bruno Mars.

With 16 years of drumming experience and nearly a decade of music production experience, I can provide the sound that you're looking for. I play and produce jazz, rock, funk, metal, and more.

I am a musical artist, producer, songwriter, audio engineer, mixing and mastering engineer with over four years of experience.
