About

You’ve got a song you believe in, and it’s been stuck around 80% for months. The writing is there. What’s missing is the arrangement and the production calls that turn a good idea into an actual record. So you keep opening the session and closing it again without much changing.

Finishing those songs is what I do. Artists and bands send me what they have, and we get it to something worth releasing. I’m not a mixing service or a content guy. I take on songs that need someone to actually finish them.

How I Work

Send me the demo, a rough, the stems, or even just a voice note of the idea.

I’ll tell you where the song already works and where it falls apart, then lay out what it needs to get over the line. Arrangement, sound, parts I play in myself, and the mix.

My job is to get the song done, not to bury it in extra production. If I’m the right fit, we make the record. If I’m not, I’ll say so.

The Work

Selected credits: Lea LaDoux, Faselnuss, For Me & My Sons, Lea & The Brownies.

18+ years making records as a musician, producer, and mixer. Toured with Mike Edel and The Paperboys, and currently engineering at TOMO Audio Labs.

I’m not a content guy or a one-size mixing service. I take on songs that need someone to actually finish them.

I only take a handful of productions at a time so each one gets real attention. The artists I work with already have a song worth finishing and want it done, not the type who tinker forever.
