I'm Michael — a musician who loves working with other musicians.
I've been making and releasing music for most of my life, and I still love it as much as I did when I started — it's the whole reason I got into audio engineering in the first place.
So when your mix comes to me, I treat it like one of my own records and spend the time it takes to get it right. I don't call a master done until it truly feels done.
When I'm not mastering, I'm making music with my band, Carbon City Lights, here on the Central Coast.
