Credits

Film, TV, and artist credits.

I'm Michael Venia, a mastering engineer on California's Central Coast. I've been mastering for about twenty years — independent artists, film composers, and broadcast work. Where possible, a credit on this page links to its source.

Film and television

The Blair Brothers

Most of my film and television work comes through composers Brooke and Will Blair. They write the score; when it's finished it comes to me for mastering; the label releases it — Wayfind, Lakeshore, Sheep Thief, Filmtrax. We've been working together since 2017, and on muso.ai they're my two most frequent collaborators.

Artist credits

Glasses Malone

Verified on Discogs

Lil B

Mastering across many mixtape releases for one of the most prolific independent artists in modern rap. Mixtapes are routinely released without engineering credits, so there's no public record to link here.

5,000+ independent artists

The bulk of the work — records released independently across every genre I take on.

Catalog

The count

Independently tallied by the streaming credit databases, not by me. They only index releases distributed with credit metadata attached, so these numbers are a floor rather than the total.
