Jordon Silva on SoundBetter

UPDATE: It's been a couple years since I've updated this page, honestly I forgot about it. I am not currently active on SoundBetter, it was fun to work with the people I have from this site during covid, but now that everything is nearly back to normal so are my business practices. If you would like to work together, I can be reached via my website

Tracking and Mixing Engineer who has worked with Kelly Clarkson, The Avett Brothers, Jason Derulo, Flogging Molly, Pepper and more!

Hi, I'm Jordon Silva! I'm a Tracking and Mixing Engineer based in Los Angeles, Ca. I've worked with many great producers including: Ryan Hewitt, Rick Rubin, Pharrell and more over the last 10 years of my career. I most recently recorded Kelly Clarkson for her new album "Meaning of Life" as well as mixed a new single for SoCal Reggae/Rock band Pepper. I'm currently doing preproduction for Sundown Superhero before going to record them in Barbados in January.

I love a huge sound with everything being audible within the mix; with lots of movement with fader rides to make the song exciting and building up all the way to the end. If I'm not rocking out and looking like an idiot while mixing behind the console, then it's not there yet!

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Jordon took a lot of care in helping me achieve my vision for the songs. I especially appreciated the live mixing sessions which were fun and productive. I love the mixes he did - my songs have come alive under his artistry with new dimensions and a fullness I didn’t realize was missing. I get goosebumps listening to the songs now and can’t wait for others to hear them. Thank you, Jordon!

I had a track that i was nurturing for 2 years, it meant the world to me and when the time came to finally wrap it up, i needed a high level mixing engineer and i found that in Jordon, he absolutely delivered.
He wanted to know the story behind the song and made it personal!
I remember hearing the track back for the first time after his finishing touches and getting an overwhelming sense of Accomplishment. That feeling alone was worth it all.. I cant wait until the next one!!

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
