Earl McElmurray Jr. on SoundBetter

Producer, Mixer, Engineer, Songwriter, and the artist "DSKO". Being an active artist in the current music scape allows me to relate to the artist perspective when it comes to production/mixing/songwriting. I really enjoy producing and mixing across all genres and actively aiming to create something new, different, and palatable.

I can make a full production around a bare bones song you have.

I will mix your songs whether they are fully recorded elsewhere or music we have collaborated on.

I specialize in Pop, EDM, RnB, Dance-Pop Trance, Deep House, Folk, Synthwave, Future Bass, Future House, Tropical, Trap, and Hip-Hop

I play guitar, piano, bass, and drums but my strongest skills are Production, Vocal Production, Mixing and Editing
