Hi, I'm Aidan Baker, a self-managed touring and recording musician based in Berlin. Over the years, I've developed a diverse skill set that includes mixing, mastering, and producing music for both my own projects and other artists. Alongside my passion for music, I am also an author of several books of poetry and occasional literary criticism, and I run my own independent record label and publishing house. When I'm not creating music or writing, I enjoy handling graphic design, promotion, and mail-order fulfillment for my label. With a strong background in both creative and operational aspects of the arts industry, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative projects and connect with other artists.
