Mission

For rock and pop artists who've put in the work developing their sound but need that extra push to break through—I get it. You're not looking for someone to reinvent your music; you need a producer who'll preserve your essence while elevating everything that makes you special.

My journey started when I got kicked out of the school band and started a punk group, recording on Radio Shack conference room mics into a boombox. Fast forward to my first industry gig—interning for producer Rob Cavallo on My Chemical Romance's "The Black Parade" album. Talk about diving into the deep end.

History

Since then, I've been fortunate to work on Grammy-winning projects with Ziggy Marley and Platinum records with Maroon 5, Fall Out Boy, and The Black Eyed Peas. But what really drives me is helping artists like you craft songs that hit emotionally while sounding massive. I've seen how frustrating it can be when you know your music has potential but can't quite get it across the finish line—that gap between your vision and the final production is exactly where I come in.

Recording Studio Owner

These days, I run The Mad Scientist Studio on my farm in Sebastopol, complete with a skatepark where artists can clear their heads between takes. Nothing breaks creative blocks like a quick skate session or a walk through the garden. It's a space designed for both serious work and creative breakthroughs—because I've found that's when the best music happens.

I'm selective about projects because I want to be fully invested in the music we create together. If you've built something special but need a producer who can help refine arrangements, add instrumental depth, and push performances while respecting what makes your sound unique—let's talk. You've done the hard part of creating your voice; I'm here to help make sure the world hears it clearly.
