Available to hire
I’m Danny Nogueiras, a Los Angeles–based producer and studio owner with 15+ years of experience running music and live/digital productions end to end. I founded and operated two commercial recording studios and also managed a label-signed touring act through national tours, video shoots, and release campaigns—balancing fixed budgets, hard delivery dates, and the reality of scheduling rooms and crew to make sure projects ship on spec.
