Mixing is my favorite part of the music production process. I’ve been mixing music professionally since the 90’s, I have also designed drum, bass and synth sounds for several Indie and major artists, including Michael Jackson, Will.I.Am, Chris Brown, Future, India Arie, 50 Cent and RZA. I’ve built several studios and also designed and built their acoustic treatments as well. I’ve collected some really nice analog and digital gear along the way. I love analog gear for its richness and digital gear for its precision. So I use them together to deliver a sound that embodies the best of both worlds.

After mixing my first few projects, I began to learn about the mastering process. Initially I hired mastering engineers to handle the final mastering process. But as I got better, I transitioned to doing my own mastering work. I like this approach because it allows me to mix through the master settings from start to finish. I feel that provides the most flexibility and ultimately the best final master. I also use analogue outboard gear for effects, EQ and dynamics processing. This gives me wider stereo imaging, a solid low end, warmth, depth, clarity and competitive volume levels.

I’ve always loved technology. So I got a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and a Masters in Public Administration from Tennessee State University. Then I Designed GPS data bases for the US Government, and taught Audio Engineering at SAE Nashville. As I gained more experience with pro audio equipment, I desired functionality that I could not find in the market. So, I created an audio tech company, raised millions in capital and partnered with manufacturers. For the last 20 years, we produced pro audio products and distributed them in over 80 countries. To date, I’ve developed over 150 pro audio products.
