I work with your songs to make sure they are amazing before you even hit the studio. Then I record them and make them sound amazing in your speakers!

Loved making this record and making it sound HUGE! For fans of arena rock, 80’s rock, Guns and Roses, ridin’ with your windows down on the freeway blasting tunes 🤟

Just been thinking about what made me get into audio engineering in the first place. I think originally it was just “Mic up the band’s instruments and make it sound sonically amazing”. But I’m coming to realize that my favorite records weren’t made by audio nerds. My favorite records were made by people who love music and love creating and just so happen to be audio nerds. Im focusing my mindset on serving the songs, being the listener, and nurturing creativity. F**k everything else 🤟

Hey everyone! I’m moving back to Staten Island in two weeks! This means I’ll be more accessible to bands/artists in the NYC/NJ/CT/PA area!

Don’t worry, I still offer remote recording where I can bring my studio to you and we can always discuss doing that option!

If you want to work on a record together, there’s nothing more important to me than serving your songs, and making the recording process feel like a fun time instead of feeling tedious and like work!

Hit me up if you have any questions about getting into the studio, even if it’s not mine! I love to help artists any way I can

Maybe it’ll make it into the mix, maybe not! But it’s always super fun to mess around with effects!

This is how I get vocals to sound SPOOKY 👻
