About

I’m an audio engineer, songwriter and musician working in Boston.  I’ve been making recordings for about 15 years, and playing music for more than 20 years.  I released 3 solo albums on various labels before I formed The Soft Drugs in 2006.  The Soft Drugs were active until Fall 2008.  I was also a member of the band Pedro the Lion for several years - playing drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and writing some of the songs.

I’m available for mixing and mastering projects.  I do often work on professional recordings, but many of my clients have made their recordings in their bedroom, their rehearsal spaces or in the basement.  Recording gear is cheaper than ever, so people are doing it themselves.  But it’s very difficult for bands to get these recordings to sound like a finished record.  I know how.  I started in the basement on a 4-track almost 15 years ago and ultimately I’ve had the opportunity to work on some high-profile records.  But I still record in a guerilla style and apply my experience to shape the tracks into great sounding records.

I’m affordable and I will work hard to make your songs sound the best they can.  I’ll do my best to work within your budget and to make the songs sound how you want them to sound.  I’ll bring my own taste and sensibilities to the project, but I won’t impose my personality on the tracks unless you specifically request my creative input.  We’ll discuss what kind of sound you’re going for and you can send me some reference tracks of your favorite recordings. 

If you’re interested in working with me, you can learn more by looking at my mixing and mastering pages.  If you want to hear songs I’ve written you can download a lot of material here.
