An Emmy and 2 x ARIA Award Wining Music Producer. I've worked with many major artists including Cat Stevens, Julia Stone, Daniel Johns and have produced music for Disney+, Netflix, Stan, Paramount etc. I have a boutique studio in Camperdown Sydney. I love helping artists make their music the best it can be. Reach out.
I am a Music Producer, Mix Engineer, Recording Engineer and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of studio experience. I’ve worked in some of the world’s best studios - including Capitol Records (LA), The Village Studios (LA), Germano Studios (NYC) and Studios 301 (Sydney). These days I work out of the beautiful Church St Studios in Sydney, collaborating with many of Australia’s top film and television composers.
My room is a blend of vintage soul and modern precision, a thoughtfully curated collection of sought-after recording gear, guitars, a vintage Ludwig drum kit, classic amps, keyboards, and a 7-foot Yamaha concert grand piano.
At heart, I’m a collaborator. My studio is a space where artists feel safe, respected and inspired. I’m known for warm, cinematic mixes, a deep musical sensitivity, and the ability to draw out honest performances. I love to serve the music and the people making it with care, craft and heart.

Absolutely incredible recording session, the result is a Power Smashing song. If you ever need vocal recording, Sean will bring the best out of you and give you the best sound. I highly recommend Sean to anyone and everyone.

I had an awesome experience working with Sean. He took my work to a new level whilst keeping the project in line with my creative vision. He is super responsive and consistent and I cannot wait to work with him again. I 100% would recommend him to any one looking for a great mix engineer.
When it comes to the best to record your track or album or even simply mix and master Sean Carey is the best in the biz. Best world wide - listen to his work to find out why - quality quality quality - he’s uses the best equipment but not only that - he has a fine ear when it comes to producing and engineering. Not once have we ever complained about his work. All the best Sean and keep up the good work. Kind regards and love Cha & Kat

You will not regret it.
He treats people with pure love and respect. I consider him my lifesaver, my collaborator, my godsend but above all my brother, my friend!2/3
Anyone looking for a gem like him to create their dreams with, would not regret it one bit. This superhero helped me creat an EP that I never thought possible. Today we're in the midst of creating the album of my dreams. The man is not one not give up on you and your dreams, he is like a godfather figure in the studio to all of us that have worked with him and continue to do so.
I can not tell you just how highly I recommend him for your next project.1/2
Sean came into my life when I was in such despair and close to giving up on what I love. It took me a while to reach out, and once I did, I have not regretted it. He has been a godsend and a gentleman. A believer and supporter. He never says something can't be done, he ploughs through every obstacle that may stand in what you try to create. He is a one in a million musician, producer, engineer and most of all an amazingly beautiful friend. He will not judge you or demean you.I met Sean several years when he was producing an album that I did some backing vocals on. I liked Sean immediately and he ended up producing an EP for me and following that, two albums. Sean’s a total pro in the studio he really knows his way around the gear and he seems to effortlessly be able to switch from one instrument to another as needed. He’s absolutely brilliant and still manages to be one of the warmest humblest people I’ve ever known. I can’t wait to get back in the studio and do another album with him. He’s definitely the dude.
Sean Carey is a phenomenal producer, sound engineer & musician. I have done 4 albums with Sean. He has turned my raw songs into sonic masterpieces, layering them with a diversity of guitar styles, bass, vocals & percussion; sensitive and complementary to my genre. He continues to develop his knowledge in technology, mixing & mastering; reaching greater heights with every production. He strikes that pivotal balance between professionalism and a personal-touch that captures your best performance in the studio. I highly recommend Sean, whatever your project, whatever your genre.
