I am Randy Martin Telford, a dedicated mastering engineer, recorder, and live sound technician based in Telford, Tennessee. As the owner/operator of Studio151 LLC, I record, mix, and master projects for home-based and professional clients, with experience in location recording, analog and digital gear, and a wide range of DAWs. I’ve built and repaired gear, designed microphones and speakers, and have been deeply involved in the audiophile world since my teens. I’ve worked in high-end audio stores as a sales manager and installer, and I continue to play drums and collaborate with new musicians in live and studio settings. Music is a cornerstone of the human experience, and helping artists realize their sonic vision is an honor. I enjoy mentoring volunteer techs at church, delivering inspiring worship experiences online and in-person, and bringing projects to completion with careful attention to tone, clarity, and emotion.
