My story from singer to mixer
Before I ever touched a mix, I was in the booth—singing, writing, performing with my R&B group, Next Phaze. I was all-in on the music, chasing the sound I heard in my head. But every time I got a mix back that didn’t feel right... man, it hurt. Vocals buried, vibe off, that emotional punch? Just not there.
I’ve been through the “this-is-fine-I-guess” approval process. I’ve felt that awkward regret after paying for a mix I wasn’t actually proud of. So eventually, I said—enough’s enough—and took matters into my own hands.
I dove deep into mixing. Trained in LA, studied hard, and figured out how to make vocals feel right—not just technically “correct,” but emotionally locked in. That’s how my Vocal-First Philosophy came to be: vocals should sit front and center, breathing life into every beat. Because I know how important it is when your voice carries the message.
Now I bring that same energy and understanding into every project I work on. I want your vocals to hit. I want your mix to feel as powerful as your performance. And I never want you to feel stuck with a result you don’t love—that’s why I offer unlimited revisions and a Money Back Guarantee.
If you’re looking for a mixing engineer who speaks your language, who actually listens, and who understands the grind from both sides of the glass—I got you.
Let’s make your song feel the way you always imagined it would.

TESTIMONIALS
Before and After
For the best experience, use headphones. Enjoy!
These before-and-after samples show the transformation of what my high-fidelity mixes can achieve. You’ll notice a significant difference in width and depth, in addition to smoother frequency representation through the low, mid, and high frequencies.
It’s impossible to appropriately level match between the before-and-after due to volume inconsistencies of the unmixed track. On the “before” section, I kept all the faders at the same level, which displays the amount of work that was required to deliver the “after” results.

My Process
Audio Insights
Yes! Vocal production, tuning, and enhancement are all part of the mixing process when needed. My goal is to make sure your vocals not only sit perfectly in the mix but shine — emotionally and sonically. I’m here to elevate your performance, not mask it.
That’s one of the biggest pain points I hear from artists. My process starts with deep sound and vocal discussions, not just adjusting levels blindly. I want to understand your creative direction, emotional intent, and references before touching a fader. You’ll never feel like your voice isn’t being heard in this process.
While I specialize in Pop, R&B, and any vocal-driven music, my priority is your artistic vision — not fitting you into a mold. I’m flexible, collaborative, and always focused on achieving the sound you want, even if that means stepping outside the usual genre lines. In addition, my gear collection allows me the flexibility to dip my feet into many different genres if required.
I mix and master with various monitoring mediums in mind, like mobile phone, bluetooth speakers, headphones, car, small radio, and HIFI speakers. Also, I make sure your track sounds consistent and professional across every platform: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, radio, and live performances. You’ll get a polished, radio-ready mix that maintains its quality wherever your audience hears it.
Definitely. If you have a rough mix or a specific sound reference, I’ll use it as a guide. I’ll work with you to enhance what you love, clean up any weak spots, and polish the entire track so it sounds consistent and professional across all platforms, speakers, and streaming services.
Absolutely — it’s my specialty. As a former singer myself, I know exactly how it feels when a vocal doesn’t sit right or loses its emotional weight in the mix. My Vocal-First Mixing Philosophy ensures your vocals lead the mix with clarity, warmth, and impact — connecting emotionally with your audience the way you intended.
I know exactly what you mean… as an artist, your music is personal, and it has to sound right. That’s why I offer unlimited revisions during the project. If, after five rounds of revisions, you still feel the mix doesn’t align with your vision, I’ll honor my 100% Money Back Guarantee — no questions asked. You deserve a mix that feels right without the fear of wasted time or money.
