I’m Michael Cooper, a bassist, producer, and sound engineer with sixteen years of professional experience across touring bands, session work, and original releases. I’m the owner and lead engineer at Room Perk, where I take projects from creative brief to final deliverable—writing and producing for shows, commercials, and brand campaigns, and also recording/engineering tracks with a client-focused, finish-to-release mindset. My work blends strong musicianship with hands-on engineering: recording, producing, mixing, and mastering across genres like rock, funk, jazz, and hip hop. I also perform bass live and in-studio, support artists and bands with audio engineering for rehearsals and shows, and contribute as a multi-instrumentalist/writer/producer on independent releases that bring together different musical influences.
