Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with Michael Schatte
I look forward to helping bring your music to life! I'm jazz trained, but also work with original rock and R&B artists. A songwriter myself, I strive to understand the artist's perspective to best serve the music. I've backed blues legend Buddy Guy and electric jazz artist Brownman Ali. My drumming is featured on radio, film and television.

Honesty transcends genre.
From performing with John Williams and the Boston POPS, to singing Tina Turner and Gwen Stefani covers with local bands, I am your "I do it all" perfect pitch-having versatile vocalist. I can sing everything from standard show-tunes, gentle Billie Eilish sounds, Mariah Carey whistle tone, jazz scat, and my personal favorite: overtone singing.
I craft classic hip‑hop rooted in DJ Premier, Alchemist, Hit‑Boy, and J Dilla. I specialize in original compositions that feel like vinyl samples, produced entirely on hardware—MPC Key 37, SP‑404 MKII, MC‑101—and mixed through the Tascam Model 12 and ART channel strip. My sound fits artists, film scores, and commercial work.
My high-end home studio is available to those who do not have access to high-end gear and years of experience at a fair price. I really enjoy mixing, mastering, and production.
Bilingual songwriter specialized in turning clients’ ideas into meaningful, emotionally driven lyrics, with a flexible and highly adaptable creative approach.
Audio professional active since 2008, working across electronic music production, mastering. My work focuses on translation, balance, and musical intent — whether the goal is a club-ready master, streaming delivery, vinyl preparation, or audio that needs to sit correctly in music, film or sound design for games and etc.
