With 20 years of experience behind the console, I've built a track record that speaks for itself: 19 Billboard Top 20 albums, an RIAA Platinum record (Imanbek), 4 RIAA Gold records, and a Grammy nomination (Dar Williams). I've worked with artists across hip-hop, indie, pop, electronic, and rock — including Bondax, Vanessa Carlton, Smoke DZA, YTB Trench, Skylar Spence, Born Cages, and Kidz Bop Kids. I offer full-service production, mixing, mastering, and Dolby Atmos spatial audio from my studio in Brooklyn, NY. Whether you need a radio-ready mix, a cinematic master, or an immersive Atmos experience, I bring the same attention to detail and musicality to every project. Every job starts with listening. I study your references, understand your vision, and deliver a final product that hits hard on first listen. My goal is to make your music sound exactly the way you hear it in your head — or better.
