I'm Blake James Johnson, a sound enthusiast with a lifelong passion for innovation. Raised in a musical household, I started deejaying at a very young age and by 16 completed two masterclasses in mixing and mastering, building a solid technical foundation. I began freelancing as a mixing engineer under the mentorship of an established drum and bass producer, and as MXTE I reached number two on the SoundCloud Underground Charts and No. 1 on Rep-Ex Electronic Music charts. Since turning 18, I’ve offered 1-to-1 tuition in music production and mentored emerging artists, developing a reputation for technical precision and professionalism. Now at 21, I work as a freelance Audio Engineer and mentor for high-profile artists, currently undergoing a strategic rebrand toward a multi-genre approach that spans music, film, and games. I enjoy learning new skills, thrive under pressure, and value collaboration across diverse teams. I’m excited to push boundaries through long-term creative growth and innovation. I love travel, fitness, and trying new things, which fuels my drive to evolve as an artist and as a collaborator across the music, film, and games industries.
