About My Studio & Gear
As an independent producer and engineer, I freelance anywhere a project takes me. You’ll find me popping up at a number of different facilities, especially to cut drums. Most of the time, however, I do overdubs and mix at my personal studio which is really well-suited to the task. I’m flexible, though, so we’ll go wherever the music takes us…
