Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with Miss Starling

I create unique, musical parts that bring out the emotional core of your song, enhancing its story with creativity and depth. Working directly from your lyrics, I shape parts that resonate and elevate, specializing in folk, soul, pop, and hip-hop. My goal is to find a creative part that helps you tell your story, making your song stand out.

Crafting heartfelt indie pop/rock (Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, Clairo) from idea to final mix. I blend your style, story, and taste into songs that feels distinctly you. All in a creative space where every idea is welcome. Credits including artists like Miss Starling, Mikah Maqua, Mick Stender, Bel, Eefje.

I offer what few others can: the perspective of one thoroughly trained in both the "creative" (performance, composition) and "technical" (recording, editing, mixing, mastering) sides of music, who is conversant in an extraordinarily broad range of music. I have an exquisite ear for creating a clear, balanced sound within genre conventions

I want to create the superhero version of your music! I will create a mix/master that delivers a powerful punch of vibrant tones and clarity across all sound systems.

I'll provide you high quality eletric and acoustic guitar tracks for pop, rock, hard rock, reggae or eletronic music.

Professional session guitar player

I can turn your idea into a song, arranging all the instruments you need, from live performances to DAW-programmed tracks. I can enhance your vocal melody, add harmonies or backing vocals, and work on sound design-shaping individual sounds, including guitar, bass, drums, synths, and effects, in both pre- and post-production.
