Hi, I'm Matt
If you have ever felt like your music never quite sounds the way you imagine it, that is exactly what I help artists fix. I have spent the past 12 years helping artists turn unfinished ideas into polished records they are proud to release. I have worked with independent artists and major label talent, contributing to music with more than 200 million combined streams.
“My role is not simply to record your song. I understand what you are trying to create and help you bring it fully to life.”

Before You Book
Is Working Together Right for You?
I want every session to be a great match. Here's a quick guide to help you decide if we're a good fit.
Good Fit
You'll feel at home here- Independent artists who care about quality.
- Artists who have struggled to find the right producer.
- Artists who want creative collaboration instead of doing everything alone.
- Vocalists who want polished, commercial sounding records.
- Rappers who want their music to sound as professional as major releases.
- Artists who already have a song that needs to be properly mixed and mastered.
- People who have always wanted to start but don't know where to begin.
Not a Good Fit
Worth knowing upfront- If you're looking for the cheapest possible recording session.
- People who simply want to rent a studio without working with me as their producer.
- Artists wanting 10 to 12 hour sessions just to hang out or vibe in the studio.
- Artists who are not prepared to collaborate, communicate, or take direction during the recording process.
No hard feelings. There are great studios that fit these needs. I'm here for the artists who want the full creative partnership.
Our Guarantee
"If you do not love the direction your music is taking, we will keep working together until you do."
