I am Joshua Carson, an audio professional focused on crafting high-quality sound from concept to delivery. I have spent years refining my skills in music production, live performance, and post-production, always aiming to elevate the listening experience.
From teenage drummer gigs in Los Angeles to serving as an Army generator technician, sound has been my constant: I love blending technical precision with creative expression to deliver cinematic, engaging audio for film, video, and music projects.
