Grammy-nominated engineer with a gold plaque and credits from Ciara to Snow Tha Product — I mix songs that sound like records, not demos.
🎧 Grammy-Nominated Engineer | Industry Polish. Versatile Sound. Real Feel.
I’m Joseph “KRE8” Hurtado — a Grammy-nominated engineer and producer with over 8 years of experience delivering mixes that feel like records, not demos. My credits include Ciara (“Dose”), Snow Tha Product, Jay Roxxx (“Creo Que Me Enamoré”), Tracee Ellis Ross (The High Note), and work with legends like Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins.
Whether it’s R&B, pop, trap, Chicano rap, or Latin-infused hits, I bring a balanced mix of emotion, punch, and clarity to every record. Clients come to me for a modern sound that still respects the feel of the music — polished but never robotic.
🔊 What You’ll Get:
Professional mix (up to 40 stems)
Vocal tuning & timing (natural or stylized)
Mastering for competitive loudness
3 rounds of revisions included
Delivery: WAV, MP3, instrumental & performance versions if needed
🧠My setup includes Pro Tools Ultimate, Universal Audio, SSL, FabFilter, Ozone 10, Neumann mics, tuned room with JBL monitors — but what really matters is the ears behind the gear. I’ve built a sound that artists trust because I listen like a fan and mix like a pro.
💬 If you're serious about your sound, let’s build. Hit the green button, send me a rough mix or tell me what you’re working on — and I’ll help you bring it all the way home.
