Hi, I'm John Armstrong. I'm an engineer, composer, sound designer, producer, mixer, and mastering engineer based in Los Angeles. I bring a blend of technical precision and creative storytelling to music, film, and television projects, collaborating with artists and producers to craft sonically rich performances and immersive soundscapes. I was Grammy-nominated for Record of the Year (Iggy Azalea’s Fancy, 2015) and have worked with a wide range of acclaimed artists and ensembles. I love building strong studio relationships, leading sessions, and delivering consistently high-quality results from tracking to final master. Whether in the studio or on location, I stay curious, learn new tools, and continually refine workflows to help artists realize their vision.
