Available to hire
Hi, I’m Joshua Carson. I’ve been a 90s-era audio engineer and drummer, performing at Hollywood clubs and building a hands-on studio background. I served as an Active-Duty Soldier in the U.S. Army from 2005 to 2015, which sharpened my discipline and commitment to music and sound.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Audio Production from Full Sail University and now specialize in ads for social media, radio commercials, post-production, sound design, and voice overs, in addition to making music. I’m passionate about mastering, sound design, and helping brands and artists tell their stories through sound.
