Mixing & Mastering Engineers, Producers & Songwriters who worked with Milk St.

I am an experienced engineer and producer who has worked on a number of projects, both of my own and of other artists. My mixing style is heavily inspired by popular engineers of the '90s (i.e. Andy Wallace, Rob Schnapf) to achieve a full, gutsy sound no matter the genre. I am also a guitarist of 16+ years and can provide session performances.

I deliver what you want
