Ties Delen

I am a creative professional with a lifelong dedication to music and sound. From an early age, music has been the core of my identity, shaping both my personal and professional path. Over the years, I have built extensive experience as a musician, producer, and audio engineer, working as a solo artist as well as in collaboration with other artists. I have performed at numerous events across Europe, gaining a deep understanding of live performance, audience connection, and the dynamics of working within diverse musical and cultural contexts.
For the past twelve years, I have been producing my own music while also supporting other artists through music production, mixing, and engineering. I currently run my own professional music studio in Amsterdam, designed to meet the needs of composers, artists, and engineers at a high professional level. The studio is fully equipped for recording real instruments as well as for high-quality, well-balanced audio mixing and engineering, making it suitable for a wide range of musical and audio-related projects.
My approach to work is grounded in critical, creative, and broad-minded thinking. I place great value on truly understanding the audio-related needs of clients, whether they are artists, bands, or companies. This ability helps me translate ideas, concepts, and emotions into effective audio and musical solutions that align with each project’s goals.
Two years ago, I founded my own music and media company, through which I create music and deliver comprehensive audio solutions. My work includes studio recordings with bands, singers, and solo artists, as well as full post-production and mixing services. In addition, I work extensively with companies, producing audio stamps and jingles for commercial use, podcast intro themes, full podcast post-production, and music or sound design for trailers and promotional content for films and social media.
Alongside creative production, I have solid experience in administrating music online, including royalty management, ownership and publishing rights, and contract-related matters. This allows me to support projects not only creatively, but also professionally and sustainably.
I have broad genre knowledge spanning from jazz/soul to disco/pop and more electronic music related genres. This allows me to create a diverse sound through which I can combine all the different elements related to these genres. I play multiple instruments, with piano as my main instrument—one on which I can very quickly learn, compose, and develop songs. I also play guitar, bass guitar, drums, and have extensive knowledge of synthesizers and drum machines. I am highly experienced in microphone setup and own a complete range of gear for recording vocals and instruments, having worked extensively with individual singers/voice actors and bands/instrumentalists.
I am 30 years old and live in Haarlem. I work with very flexible hours and am always open to new projects. Music is my passion.
