Skilled and Experienced Mix Engineer, Producer, and Musician with over 5 years of studio recording experience. Hello! My name is Dalton Essary and I am a 24 year old Mix Engineer & Producer. I attended Dallas Baptist University from 2017 - 2022 where I was a Studio Recording major and a part of the DBU Chapel Worship Team as a drummer, keys player, and vocalist. Over the last 5-6 years I have spent time in various studios and churches working with Worship bands, indie artists, and singer songwriters to help them bring their ideas and music to life. My primary services include: Mixing and Mastering, Producing (keys, guitars, vocals, audio editing). Mixing and recording is my passion! Although Contemporary Worship music is my specialty genre, I also love working with all types of artists across ALL genres.

I'm an Emmy Award winning Songwriter and ACM Song Of The Year Nominee. I've won 15 ASCAP Awards and written with some of the biggest artists in the world, in Country, Pop & Rock. My songs have been at the top of Billboard's #1 singles chart as a Songwriter and as Producer and they've appeared in TV series' more than 300 times. I write and produce artists in the direction they want to go in. I want the song to be great before I wrap the record around it. Everything begins with the song. I moved to Nashville from Memphis to be a songwriter and that worked out for me pretty quickly. I signed with Universal, I had 3 hits in 3 years and my first #1. When I left there at year four, I helped start a publishing company, Big Tractor Music, with Producer, Scott Hendricks, now SR VP or A&R at Warner Brothers. Roughly 10 years later I became Head Of Creative at Chrysalis Music where I continued to write, produce and discover, sign and develop artist/writers. The music business has many hats and I work hard to try not to wear too many at one time. To sum it up, I am a songwriter, producer, publisher, a passionate developer of young talent, a manager when I absolutely have to be and more often than not a consultant...not because I'm smart but because I'm experienced.

I’m a professional singer and songwriter from New York City who’s moved all over the US and Europe, and I’m based in Malaga Spain. I’ve performed, recorded and/or written music with the likes of Ingrid Michaelson, Rachel Platten, Lizzie Grant (Lana Del Rey), The Kin, Gregory Alan Isakov, Lenny Kravitz, Brass Against, Kevin Garrett, and more. My album Other Man was produced by Mike Hedges (U2, The Cure) with help from a team of Grammy winning programmers, mixers, and string arrangers and was released worldwide by Filter Music Group (Milky Chance) in summer 2018. Singles from the album were on radio rotation in Germany, France and Italy, and the official music videos have been viewed nearly 200k time. My vocal performances have also been featured by NYC’s Brass Against and viewed over 1.5 million times. My own compositions focus on vocal flexibility, tone, control, and harmonic support usually on either guitar or piano, and tend to be very soulful. But singing with other groups, I’ve gone from Americana to metal, even singing spot on renditions of Tool with Brass Against. I was classically trained in trumpet by the associate principal player for the Philadelphia Orchestra while I studied music education at Temple University in the early 2000’s. I currently reside in Malaga Spain where I work remotely with producers from NYC and Berlin (where I lived from 2014-2017), and occasional travel Europe to perform live shows either solo or with my band.

I'm Ezequiel, a music producer with 15+ years of experience creating and producing music across multiple genres. My music has been featured in big media such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, VICE, MTV, NPR and more.

I'm an engineer, drummer and percussionist who's worked with the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra and The National Art Center Orchestra, Capital Brass Works, along with many other bands and ensembles. I made the move to Montreal as a drummer and audio engineer in 2011 and became a full-time freelancer. I've toured extensively throughout 2013, and since returning to Montreal I've been working mainly as a recording and mixing engineer. I had a chance to work on 2 Felix winning albums, with Alex Desilets, Windigo and Laurence Jalbert, Ma Route, and was recently recording engineer for the Juno and Canadian Folk Music Award-nominated album Hapax, by the band Oktopus (who I now play drums with). As for the genre of music that I work on, I don't necessarily decide that for myself, but it gets determined by the projects I get hired to work on. I like music that's been well-honed, and the importance of the genre for me is secondary to that. I find the music itself tells me where to take the sound, and by having good communication with the artist/s we can make sure we're thinking along the same lines, plus I get to learn what the artist hears/has in mind. When I do work on a new genre, I like to find new tricks that associate with that genre, but I also have a bag of my own tricks that I can bring to the table, which helps me bring a different light to a common sound.

Hi! My name is Matt Rifino. I am a 5x EMMY Award Winning Music Mix Engineer. Over the last 25 years I’ve worked with over 1,200 artists mixing 5,000 plus songs. In the end is it really about the gear? Does the end listener care what reverb was used on the vocal? NO! They are listening because they want to feel something. They want to relate to the music. They want to be happy, be sad, smile, cry, scream, fall in love, breakup, jump up and down. My goal is to squeeze the most of those emotions out of every song I mix. First and foremost I'm an avid music listener and live for those moments of connection with the music. My life's mission is to help bring those feelings to as many people as I can. I don't care about gear. I care about the artists, the listeners, and the music. What is your vision for the project and how I can help you achieve it? What kind of energy and emotion do you want share with the world? What do you want the listener to feel? When mixing a song I want to know that so I can help you take the listener to those places. It's your song and I'm here to help translate the sounds in your head into the hearts and minds of the audience. ? I bring that same philosophy to your music for live streaming, concert, and promotional performances airing on the web and television. It's not just another performance. It's your performance. I want to give the same attention and care to the mix that was given to the writing and performing. ? If you are looking for someone to help take your vision over the finish line please reach out and let's talk. Please inquire about my very reasonable rates for independent artists.

Hey! I'm Alexander Almgren a music producer from Yorkshire, England. My credits include 17 albums that have reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200, five of which have reached the top three. I've worked with artists such as Born Cages, Skylar Spence, Bondax, Brand New, Dar Williams, Vanessa Carlton, and Smoke DZA. I worked on Born Cages’ acclaimed track “Don’t Look Back,” for which I received a gold record in 2015. I was trained in jazz and classical music, and went on to study popular music and music technology at the University of Huddersfield. After graduating, I moved to New York City to work with Neil McClellan at The Lodge Music Production House, creating advertising music for products such as Dentyne gum and Hot Wheels toy cars. Not long after, I began working with Gary Philips on production for a major children’s music brand, as well as working with various Razor & Tie Recordings artists. I continue producing children’s pop music to this day, which requires me to identify each component of a successful pop song and recreate it. This process has helped me develop a hyper-awareness of what goes into the production of a hit song. In 2015, I opened Freshly Baked Studios in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, where I produce for a wide variety of artists. My productions allow a song’s strengths to shine through on the track. It’s always about connecting with the feeling of the song -- I see my job as bringing different aspects of the song in and out of focus to lead the listener to the most important moments.

Hitz is a producer/engineer that has hovered around industry greats for the better part of 20 years. From learning from Dizzo at CM records, working side by side with The Mix King Steve Sola, Sam The Engineer kicking me out of his seat to teach me a thing or two, to sitting in with mixing guru simply known as Serge at Platinum Sounds, Hitz always found a way to work with some of the best when It came to mixing and mastering. As far as production, Hitz has always been around accomplished producers. Always taking different elements and mixing it up with his own style. From the Cadence of Paperboy Fabe (Brent Faiyaz), the grittiness of Music Mystro (Dipset, LL Cool J, etc) to the melodic chords of Bridgesdidit (Chris Brown, Dani Leigh H.E.R., etc) to the baselines of R!0 (Usher, Lil Wayne, Beyonce, etc) Hitz has always enjoyed working with talented independent artists as well as signed signed major artists. A few of his repeat clients are Kariadys, The Unknxwns, GataMala, Ali Caldwell, Style P and Jadakiss.

I’ve worked for more than three decades in the arts, as a musician, an educator, an author and an artist. I’ve worked on three records nominated for Juno awards; published multiple books with Bloomsbury and Oxford University Press, among other notable imprints, on the subject of popular music and record making, one of which currently resides in the Reading Room of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and I even won a Governor General's medal in 2006, at only 28 years of age, for my PhD research in the area of record production and media ecology. Since then I’ve been an associate professor of popular music studies at Western University, in London (Ontario), teaching primarily songwriting and project paradigm record production. I have always been an avid fan (and maker) of collage.
