Raw. Punchy. Gritty. Organic. Energetic.

The Record

Your song is your art.

My job isn't to turn your song into something else. It's to find what's already alive in it — and bring it to the surface.

The Philosophy

Make it hit. Keep it you.

I don't want every instrument to be perfectly clean, or every production to sound the same.

I'll preserve the imperfections that give your music character — and break a few rules when it makes the song better.

What I Do

  • Mixing

    Raw recordings into records with impact, energy and personality.

  • Production

    Arrangement, sounds, instrumentation, vocals and dynamics — whatever the song needs.

  • Pre-production

    Fix the things that matter before you spend money recording them.

    Pre-production can be one of the most valuable parts of the process.

    If you're unsure about the arrangement, instrumentation, sounds or vocal approach, or songwriting assistance, let's sort it out before you spend money recording everything.

  • Recording

    Full tracking facilities for all instruments including vocals.

  • Mastering

    Final polish, without turning your record into a brick.
