i turn “This sounds off” into Something you’re proud to release.
You’ve heard your songs a hundred times. The record is recorded, but something still feels wrong and you can’t explain why.
That’s where I come in. I find the issues and uncover the unique ways your music can hit harder. I take your finished recordings and give it the impact of the records you grew up loving.

I turn songs into records
Mixing makes it feel right.
I take your tracks and make them work together so the vocal sits right, the drums hit like they should, and the energy of the song actually lands.
Mastering makes it translate.
I bring the volume, the cohesion, and the finish that makes your music translate everywhere: studio monitors, car stereos, earbuds, laptop speakers.

Hear the difference.

What people say
Music with something to say. Mixed by someone who gets it.
At 15 I was at my first local punk show and thought, I want to do this forever.
I joined a band. Our first recording was through a video game mic shoved in the corner of our practice space, buried under towels so it wouldn’t distort. We just played. The mic captured whatever it captured. It sounded awful. I loved it. It was the coolest thing I had ever done. That was the start.
I didn’t go to a fancy recording school. I learned by doing, by messing up, by listening to the records I loved and trying to reverse engineer how they sounded.
Now I have a room, a decade of work behind me, and ears trained to catch what most people miss. But I still remember what it felt like to make something from nothing and want it to sound like the records that shaped you.
That’s why I do this.
