About

Ears that were
born listening.

I'm Andy, an audio engineer and mixer based in Nashville, a Platinum Award graduate of the Blackbird Academy. I'm also a drummer with almost two decades of experience, and a guitarist for over half a decade. I know the pocket of a kick drum in a mix, the way a room breathes, the space a vocal needs to feel like a person in the room rather than a track on a timeline.

I've worked inside some of the best rooms Nashville has to offer, including world-class mixing and recording suites at Blackbird. I bring that same intentionality to every session, whether it's a major release or a bedroom record that deserves to be heard.

Process

How it works.
Start to finish.

Simple and direct. No unnecessary back-and-forth, no guesswork. You send me what I need, I come back with something that sounds like the song it was always meant to be.

01
Step one
Send your session

Export multitracks or send your DAW project. I confirm receipt and scope within 24 hours and ask exactly what I need from you.

02
Step two
Vision conversation

A short exchange about the emotional intent: reference tracks, sonic direction, anything specific you're chasing. This shapes everything.

03
Step three
First delivery

You get the mix with a note on key decisions. Listen on headphones, speakers, your car, then tell me what you hear.

04
Step four
Revisions + final files

Unlimited revisions. Final delivery in every format your distribution pipeline needs.
