Leading Hip-Hop and R&B artists to the industry sound they strive for
Finding someone who can deliver you quality audio mixing that actually impresses you can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, you’ve found one.
Here’s How I Can Help
I’ll handle everything you need to transform your songs from raw recordings or mundane rough mixes to clear, crisp, loud and commercially competitive works of art that you’re proud to release.
Editing
I’ll go through the process of cleaning up your raw audio tracks. Adding pitch correction and time alignment to your vocals, reducing background noise from your recordings, as well as removing excess breaths and unintended sounds.
Mixing
Combining, adjusting, and balancing all musical elements within your song to maximize aesthetics, emotional impact, and cohesiveness. Your instrumentals, vocals and effects will be balanced to create a consistent overall sound.
Mastering
The final layer of polish after editing and mixing is finished. Loudness optimization to ensure that your song is competitive when played alongside Triple-A industry releases. Quality and format standardization so your song is fully prepared for upload to streaming services.

The path of the artist and the development of their sound
is not always easy though…
In my 10+ years working in professional recording studios, I’ve watched so many talented artists stumble through common pitfalls in their struggle to make their music sound like how they’ve envisioned it:
Spending excessive amounts of money on multiple studios and engineers, hoping and praying to find one that has the experience and competence to deliver them the results they truly seek.
Working with producers who don’t align with their direction, resulting in time wasted, disappointment and discouragement.
Receiving mixes that don’t sound quite as good as their favorite artists, leading to doubt and uncertainty about their own talent.
Trying to record and mix their own music, but lacking the technical skill to deliver the results of a true professional.
Procrastinating with releasing music because they are hesitant to release something that doesn’t meet their own high standards of quality.
