Connect with Jazz musicians

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.

Audio Engineer and Producer Christian S. Nickel ensures high-quality music productions through his many years of mixing experience. Besides a certification as audio engineer by the HOFA-College he completed his B.A. in music business at the Popakademie Mannheim. In addition to the best possible quality of his productions, the individual wishes of the musicians for their project are also of utmost importance to him.

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.

I spent the first 10 years of my career working at a studio privately run by dance/rock pioneers Apollo 440 in London. Now working freelance, I draw on all the knowledge and experience I gained working with countless singers/bands/artists/producers (both established and new) on all sorts of different projects. Mixing is not simply a technical procedure, it's a creative process. You can get a song sounding good a million different ways using all kinds of techniques but does it make the listener feel the way it's supposed to? I am a perfectionist. Even when I know "perfect" isn't something that's actually possible most of the time, that doesn't stop me striving to achieve that for myself and more importantly the artist I'm mixing music for. If that means working on a track for a while, deciding it's not working and starting again with a new approach..then I'm not afraid to do that. www.akmix.co.uk

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!!!

I've played on over 1200 recordings for a wide variety of artists, including Lyle Lovett, Bruce Springsteen, Alison Krauss, Johnny Cash, Christina Aguilera, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Willie Nelson, Luis Fonsi, Ricardo Arjona, and many more. I've produced records for Willie Nelson (2x Grammy winning), Keith Urban (Platinum), Blues Traveler (Grammy Nominated) Mary Chapin Carpenter (Grammy Nominated), Rita Wilson, and more. I am also a Grammy nominated arranger.

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.

I'm Jackson Mathod, a multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter based in the south of London. My influences range from the likes of Fat Freddie’s drop, Submotion Orchestra, and Christian Scott to name a few. I studied Jazz at Guildhall School of Music and Drama back in 2009. However, never feeling fully embedded in the Jazz world, I quickly went onto the session musician circuit, playing for high profile artists such as Stormzy and Jordan Rakei. Fast forward to 2019, where I was asked to be a featured artist on 'Make you Feel' by South London Duo Fika, laying my vibrant trumpet sound on the alt-soul hit. This is a thing I really enjoy in music- Improvising in different styles. Embracing the diversity of my instrument. “Jackson Mathod plays with a genuine love for Jazz music. His ability to convey truth in his solos is a tonic and his potential as an artist excites me. Jackson’s playing adheres to the values of blues, swing and community, he represents himself with honesty and dignity and reflects with abundance the characteristics that this music’s future will thrive on.” – Julian Joseph Jackson’s music has been featured on Spotify Editorial playlists such as ‘State of Jazz’ and ‘Jazz UK’ He has also received radio play from BBC 6music, Jazz fm, WWFM to name but a few

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.
