Connect with Hip hop musicians

Hi I'm Mark de Berard, After 8 years of live engineering and touring I started my recording career at Charring Cross Studios in 96 and worked assisting some amazing producers such as Matrin White, Paul McKercher , Craig Porteils and David Trumpmanis. I learned so much about my craft and the subtle lessons about creating long lasting relationships through music. lots of capable engineers in the world and its such a relief when you find one you can connect with , that is genuinely interested in bringing out your best ! and has the skills and equipment to do just that ! So lets chat and see what we can create together. Regards, MdE

Producer from Montreal living in Los Angeles. I've worked with artists signed with BMG, Warner, SONY and Universal as well as done synch projects for film and TV with Prescription Songs, All Media Music Group, Heavy Hitters Music Group, Venice Music. Hip-Hop, Indie Soul, Alt RnB. Weird sounds: all day.

I want to make your music sound better. Since 2015 I've been producing, mixing and recording music for a living. I have a bachelor's degree in music production from Linnaeus University. 2019 I was nominated for ISA Awards.

Radio ready mixes. Recent clients incl. Hak Baker, Animanz, Mehiga, Redhanded, Acolyte, and Sell By. Aussie Mixer, Engineer and Vocal Producer based in London, UK. I specialize in popular music genres, rock, pop, hip hop, soul and electronic music, but have also mixed for classical, opera, jazz, funk, blues and folk outfits. I've worked as an audio professional for over 14 years, and in that time I've been had the privilege to work on Gold Selling recording in Australia from the likes of Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, Floating Me, COG and Birds of Tokyo. I've also been a staff engineer at Oaklands Productions, and had my own mix room in the renowned Sing Sing Recording Studios in Melbourne. I've always enjoyed working on varying styles of music, and I pride myself on delivering a mix that goes above and beyond expectations. I've been told I'm easy to work with; I'm also extremely motivated and I work hard to get the best results on every project I work on.

With 30+ years in the business, working for and collaborating with a multitude of commercially successful artists, producers, DJs, film composers and advertising agencies, I am always looking for fresh projects that challenge my audiophile mind. In my own studio, I usually write & produce in Ableton Live, and record, mix and master in ProTools. Happy in either environment, I sometimes use both concurrently via Rewire. I did a *lot* of remixing in the 90s and 00s, and still enjoy doing so. Leftfield and experimental sound design have always been favourites of mine, as well as composing to picture. Composition for TV advertising in New York, and collaboration on a number of feature films with the named composers brought plenty of sound to picture experience, and I taught Audio Post Production at Full Sail, Orlando. I started mastering for a number of random projects a while back, and the constantly happy clients have push me to also offer this service. Try it out for yourself!

Donovan Christopher Knight, better known as D.K. the Punisher, is a multi-platinum producer from Baltimore, MD, perhaps best known for his work with TDE signees SiR, Jay Rock, and Isaiah Rashad. He has also produced records for Justin Bieber, Anderson .Paak, Jill Scott, Ro James, Mac Miller, EARTHGANG, Little Simz, and the list goes on.

I am an Ableton Live expert who is working at two major electronic music schools in London, teaching and developing courses at BA degree level. I am also a producer and live performer with over twenty years experience working across many underground electronic genres. I am used to giving detailed and constructive feedback as an everyday part of my high-level teaching role. I teach all aspects of music production, sound design or live performance (including audio-visual work) and focus on using the Ableton Live software for my tuition and own productions – but am familiar with other DAWs and media production tools as well. I work with both Mac and PC platforms and provide a friendly yet professional service. I’m physically based in London, hold public liability insurance, a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training and am CRB checked. I also have a visual arts and events industry background and have been organising and promoting events, club nights and festivals since the late 1990s and been performing as a VJ since 2005.

New York is home to some of the industry’s most legendary names like; Lil Kim, Big Daddy Kane, the late great Ol Dirty Bastard, and Jay-Z. Presently, it looks like we will be adding a new name to that list with the arrival of Marc Papers! When a writer came across Marc Papers on Spotify, they were instantly surprised by the “LACK” of autotune. Papers’ rap style focuses on actual lyrics that are missing from the current microwave instant noodle cup style of rap. You are not getting random words thrown together over a beat-this kid talks his sh*t! 
 Marc Papers is taking the game one step further. He is a self-made boss who wears many hats. As the CEO of Top 5 Entertainment, senior engineer, and one of the flagship artists of the label, the big stepper continues the trend of showing why New York remains the Mecca of Hip-Hop. The way he blends old-school lyricism with this new NY drill sound is a match made in Heaven. His discography consists of bangers like “Stocks Up, the smash hit Laughing at my Haters has amassed over 1.7 billion total streams since its release, plus a large production catalog on Beatstars. 
 Marc Papers ghostwrites some of your favorite independent hits (we can’t reveal them legally of course), gives out astrology readings, writes jingles for hip brands like the “Hire App” in Miami, and “Llemorstyles” based in Brooklyn. 
 Most importantly, be sure to connect with Marc Papers on all social media platforms and his official website. Always remember – GET YA PAPERS UP!

I've been playing flute since 1997. I have several degrees in music performance, and I have recorded on countless projects. I've performed in the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, Ottawa and Montreal's Jazz festivals, and the Marciac Jazz festival. I have a lot of experience in knowing in the moment what a song might need, and being able to come up with new ideas that suit the vibe of the song. I came up learning heavy metal and classic rock guitar solos on the flute, and kept working with that and eventually switched to jazz, with a focus in improvisation. I also learned the sax shortly after, and I am able to play tenor, alto, soprano and Baritone, even at the same time!! I've studied with some of the best saxophonists in the world, including David Binney, George Garzone, Donny McCaslin and Dave Liebman. I also play clarinet, keyboards and percussion. I came up in a rich musical background so I am able to perform and interpret in many different styles, from pop to rock, to reggae, to jazz, to hip hop to even techno. I love playing different styles and fusing them together. I'm looking forward to being able to work together and recording on your tracks!!!

Los Angeles native, Gil Sharone, is highly regarded as one of the most versatile session and touring drummers in the world, who is known for his creativity, authenticity and strong pocket. He is a multiple-time industry award winner as a drummer, but will often wear other hats as a co-writer, producer, and an educator/clinician. Gil came to notoriety in the rock world as a former member of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Puscifer, Marilyn Manson, Stolen Babies and Team Sleep. However, he is widely known as an expert in other genres. Reggae, ska and rocksteady were part of his earliest influences along with jazz, funk, hip hop and fusion. Gil has established himself in the Jamaican drumming styles, authoring an award winning DVD and book entitled Wicked Beats, after playing with legends Eek-A-Mouse, HR of Bad Brains, Dave Wakeling, and more recently with Slightly Stoopid, Morgan Heritage, and his current reggae/dub outfit, Gil, Migs and Rog. Gil is also an active member of a genre bending music collective, Saudade, where you can hear his jazz fusion collaborations with jazz greats John Medeski, David Torn, Robert Thomas Jr., Dr. Know and Chuck Doom. Gil’s work further extends into the film/television world, working with composers Tyler Bates and Paul Haslinger. His work can be heard in Deadpool 2, Guardians of The Galaxy 2, all three John Wick movies, The Punisher (Netflix), Kingdom and Stumptown. He has also contributed both as a player and co-writer on the DC Comics: Dark Nights Metal Soundtrack, and his most recent work can be heard in the musical score for the live action Cirque du Soleil show, R.U.N.

To know yourself and accept yourself can be one of life’s greatest challenges. But what I do know about myself is that I have a gift for creating and that art has always been my main passion. Ever since I could pick up a crayon I would draw, and at a young age I dreamt of being a comic book artist. As my teenage years went by I picked up playing guitar, and music quickly became another major influence on my life. Upon graduating high school I went to a local community college for Art/Graphic Design. I disliked the program, failed my first year, and switched my academic focus to the Recoding Arts and to Music. Within a few years I had 2 degrees in the Recording Arts (Full Sail University) and 1 in Music Business (Full Sail University) and a job at a major audio production house in NYC (HSR|NY). In 2011 I moved back to my hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. settled into a house and starting working for my Grandfathers business in HVAC. During this time I put together a professional home recording studio, played in bands, taught myself piano, and networked with local artists. In 2019 I began questioning my life, and purpose. I started reading a lot of books, and listening to a lot of Alan Watts. Somewhere in my readings I discovered sacred geometry and it instantly struck a chord. After 13yrs of not drawing I picked the pencil back up and started drawing geometry at work during my downtime. When Covid19 hit the United States, I got laid off from work and found myself with a lot of time on my hands; so I started drawing for hours a day. Shorty after without any expectation, my art got noticed. Over a short course of a few months I have done art for restaurants, sold commissioned works, and have received recognition globally from businesses, artists, and fans. I have recently been asked to have my work featured in galleries, and am in the process of designing a clothing line and doing album art. 3 of my greatest influences are Rafael Araujo, Daniel Martin Diaz, and Andy Gilmore. Working with artists is something I love to do and would love to continue to do. I hope to inspire others and be inspired in return. My name is A.J. Bartoletti and this my journey, I would love for you to be a part of it. Thank you.

Lifetime musician, I’ve been mixing recordings and live shows since the late 90s. I mainly produce House, Hip Hop, RnB and Pop but have more mixing and mastering experience in Rock and Pop. My go tos for mixing are FabFilter, UAD, SoundToys and Waves plugins (some of my favourite are the 1176s, LA-2A, Pultec EQs, SSL Bus Compressor, etc.) and FabFilter ProQ. My mastering chain is a combination of FabFilter (Pro Q & Pro L) and analog emulations for tone. I provide a lower rate to work vocals into a premixed beat or instrumental. I'm always looking for singer songwriters to collaborate with on House tracks! Message me for a quote or if you have any questions!
