ABOUT

HEY SONGWRITERS !

Recording studio owner, songwriter for 30 years. Have all the better analogue gear including vintage microphones for the studio. SSL console. Songwriter since the 90s with cuts including a nomination for song of the year for the Alberta Recording Industry Assoc. I have been recording others and helping with production and arranging for many years. I had a songwriter DEMO studio in Edmonton between 89 and 2001. Another in Calgary between 2001 and 2016. Now I am looking to settle in and have some fun with the right people. Operate a small studio and enjoy whatever comes my way. Just looking to pay the bills not get rich, and help with your songs. . Completed the build.
I am also interested in mixing your home computer creations if you need someone to make it sound the best it can, or to add embellishment... or just want your music run through pro analogue gear.
I believe in a comfortable creative atmosphere so those who are new to the environment do not need to feel overwhelmed. I enjoy being creative with those who don't have giant egos and realize the music is the most important goal. I have quality instruments for the right hands as well.
Singles, duos and bands work. Send me a message if you feel we can click. Acoustic music is my passion but not my limitation.
