I'm a multi-faceted producer who specializes in production, sound design, song writing , and engineering. I enjoy making music of all different styles. I aspire to be a resource for other musicians to help them bring their ideas to life.

I'm currently in college studying, music business with a minor in piano. I have been producing and engineering since high school and have spent my college years learning the many different aspects of the music industry as well as music theory and piano. I have released music under a few different names, and have collected over 1 million streams on both on Spotify.

    I have been producing music for over 8 years inside of ableton. I have worked with many different artists and producers over the years but Nick is one of the most hardworking, dedicated studio engineers I know. His knowledge of production techniques and mixing strategies goes above and beyond. I would recommend the services of Zareaux Productions to anyone looking for a full, dynamic mix.

    I have worked with several artists in different genres in the Denver area and Nick always delivers quality. He achieves dynamic mixes with out overshadowing the original intention of the song. He is flexible and skilled in his craft and I would highly recommend any service from this individual.

    I have worked with Nick locally here in Denver, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about him. He is a really nice guy who puts a ton of effort into his craft, and it shows. He is one of the most talented producers in the Denver area that I know personally, and I always love going to the studio to work with him.
