Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with John Painter

I will be your female vocalist

I'm a Grammy Nominated, Gold & Platinum award winning producer. He has been Steve Vai‘s engineer for a decade with other credits ranging from Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Mary J. Blige, Nuno Bettencourt, Tosin Abasi, LA Guns, & Reignwolf.

While I do a little bit of everything in the songwriting process, as a songwriter, I would consider myself to primarily be a lyricist first and foremost. Words are powerful and can take you on a journey of emotion, and for me that is what great song writing is all about. My writing style tends to be conversational.

Credits include films for ESPN, HBO, CNN and more. TV credits include shows on ABC, HBO, NBC and more. I've also worked with many artists. I can create realistic mockups or contract pro session players here in Los Angeles to record in my studio. I work out of The Regional Office studio in downtown LA.

Mixing: - I am an experienced and talented mix engineer with great ears and very reasonable prices. Recording: - I can add fresh and well written parts to your song or perform pre-written parts at a professional level

I started making music in 2018 and recently signed a contract with my manager. People have come to know me as V1ctim and recognize my producer tag: "They are all victims." I call myself V1ctim because I have been a victim of bullying but ended up on top. If you want your instrumental to be the victim of your lyrics... here I am!

I manifest the sounds you imagine! Ten years of study payed off. Not to blow my own trumpet, but it’s safe to say I’m a master of my craft.

Rock mix-engineer for indie budgets. Post-punk, post-rock, noise-rock, punk... You name it. I nail it.

I turn emotion into hooks — cinematic, soulful, and built to last. My writing style blends genre fluidity with storytelling. From trap soul to folk-pop, I craft melodies and lyrics that cut through noise and stay with listeners long after the song ends.
