Indie & alternative production that serves your song

Yellow starburst graphic with black text stating "Booking Remote Projects Worldwide".

I'm James — a producer and mix engineer with a decade of credits in indie rock, alt-pop, and singer-songwriter music. I work remotely with artists everywhere, and in-person in Columbus, OH.

I’ve helped bring a distinct sound and creative depth to 50+ indie/alternative projects, as well as performed as a touring musician & recording artist, sharing stages with artists like Lizzo, Crowded House, and Ra Ra Riot, among others. I specialize in lush, outside-the-box indie production and clear, punchy mixes - my goal is to make your sound shine through.

What Artists Say

“The first time I went in, I brought a lush, 7-minute song. James basically had the final mix on the first try. That's crazy.

He has excellent pop sensibilities, clean mixer, and down for sound experiments and goofing around (you need this)… Thanks for crushing it on our songs.”

Jonny McAllister (Radderall)

“[James] has a wide repertoire of skills (multi-instrumentalist, advanced production techniques, coherent communicator) and values musical tastes of any genre.

10/10 recommend, I’d even let him babysit my kids or something.”

Godwin Igwebuike (GODWIN)

“James produced the hell out of our EP. He literally took the ideas out of our heads and made them real with such ease. We never thought we'd get the sounds/tones we imagined on this record and James made that happen as if we were recording in a multi-million dollar studio with someone who has been doing this for 30+ years.”

Sean McDermott (The First Days of Spring)
