Production
I shape productions that connect with your audience on a gut level by focusing on three key elements:
Finding the emotional core of your song and making it impossible to ignore
Building arrangements that focus your vision and keep the listener captivated
Creating a unique sonic landscape that captures your energy and builds upon your carefully curated sound
After almost twenty years making rock records, I’ve learned that production isn’t about perfection—it’s about showcasing what makes your music unique.
My Approach
My job is to listen—not just to your demos and your performances, but to your influences, inspirations, and where you want your songs to end up.
The best productions happen when everyone is on the same page. That’s why I take time to get inside your head before we lay down a single track.
From there, we craft your production together, focusing on your song’s core message and cutting anything that that loses the listeners attention or takes away from the emotional impact.

So Who Is This Guy Anyways?
I was 10 years old when I first picked up my Dad's Les Paul and realized that the guitar was something I wanted to dive headfirst into. Over the following years I was introduced to music such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and more, and that's when Rock And Roll sunk its teeth into me and never let go.
It was a few years later when I first laid my hands on a mixing board. I remember being fascinated by it and everything it could do to shape sound, so whenever I could I would experiment with it and learn everything I was able to about how it worked. I was lucky enough to know someone who was experienced in the recording arts, Jim, who gave me valuable instruction and feedback in those early years and would later introduce me to Todd who let me sit in on some sessions in his commercial studio, Risque Disque Records. I would spend a total of 8 years working for Todd and Risque Disque Records starting as a wallflower and ending in 2018 as the Studio Manager and Head Engineer. That was an amazing time in my life, I had free reign of a well equipped, purpose built studio where I could work, learn, and experiment freely, and that is where I really honed my craft.
I realized through my time at Risque Disque Records that I have a passion for production. I really love to dive into a song, determine what the core of that song is, what is complimenting that core what is distracting from it, what it catching the listeners ear and what is losing the listeners attention, then working with artists to come up with creative ways to turn those distractions that lose the listener into cool compliments that elevate the song and keep the listener hooked.
As the in-house engineer for a commercial studio I found that I was limited in the kind of Producing I could do for the artists that came through the doors, so in 2018 I left Risque Disque Records so that I could dive deeper into the production side of music. Since then I have been collaborating with bands and solo artists alike to achieve their artistic visions for their art and to experience the thrill of creating amazing recordings.
If you want to realize the potential of your song and craft a production that puts all eyes on the very core of your inspiration, send me a message. Let's rock.
