makingmusic that matters.records that inspire.songs that move.

Music can make us dance. Music can make us cry. Music can open new realms to us and make us feel things that we've never felt before. There's a lot that goes into crafting those moments and it takes a lot of dedication to write, play, sing, produce, refine, record, mix and master music that makes us feel that way. Music is more than just notes on a page or noise on the radio - Let's have a chat and see how we can take your next records further.

Working across a wide variety of genres I personally enjoy.

alt pop metalcore classical singer-songwriter punk jazz rock noise instrumental heavy vintage

I work with artists I believe in.
Producing or mixing music I don't personally enjoy wouldn't be respectful to the artists and might even degrade the quality of their projects.
I'm not here to make good »business decisions« but to move people.
Feel free to send me your demos or rough mixes and let's see if it's a match! 😉

Listen to my Demo-Reel!

Gear doesn't make music.People do.

... but it certainly inspires ...
