About

My name is Derrek Clay. I’m a full-time audio engineer based in Nashville, TN —
but working across the country.
I’ve recently done audio work for Nissan, Chubbies Clothing, John Rich & Department of Homeland Security, and Ramsey Solutions.

I specialize in sound for film, TV, YouTube, web content, podcasts, music, and more.

High-quality audio is what defines a professional final product — and it’s what separates a memorable experience from an uninspiring one.

As such, I take great pride in crafting sonic landscapes that elevate the visions of artists, stakeholders, and consumers alike — all while maintaining an extremely high standard of quality.

I strive for absolute precision, with careful attention to detail and a strong work ethic. I’m also eager to collaborate with others to achieve an end-result that inspires all parties involved.
