About

I’m Michael D’Amato, an audio engineer and music producer based in North Bellmore, NY, and I love helping independent artists and labels get fully release-ready results. Through D’Amato Production, I mix and master singles, EPs, and full-length albums with a focus on delivering finished work on deadline—end to end, from file intake and revision rounds through final masters for streaming and physical release.

I also produce and edit podcasts and spoken-word audio (cleanup, leveling, and platform-ready delivery), and I support music releases with digital artwork and packaging design. Beyond engineering, I founded Bioelectric Records, where I run heavy rock and metal releases, and I contribute monthly to Doom Charts—while staying closely connected to the independent heavy underground community.
