What Artists Have Said:


“Mike is a professional who has quickly established himself as one of the greater up-and-coming engineers in the New Jersey area. Mike is a great young engineer who easily blows his competition out of the water with his professionalism and high quality products. I’ve had the honor of working with and directing him. There are very few engineers I can trust to execute the level of work that he can do.”

— Nathaniel Hawkins (Mastering Engineer, Staff Engineer @ Architekt Studios)

“Mike’s extensive knowledge of his gear never fails to stun me and my bandmates. He easily adapts to the various styles of music I’ve challenged him with recording, over the years, and his confidence in his craft brings out the best in all musicians. Above all this, Mike creates a relaxed environment with his clients that is unbeatable.”

— Rob DeLillo (Lunar Commute, Friends Like Strangers, Tarnished)

“Mike focuses on getting crystal clear tones at the source, not crossing his fingers that it can be “fixed in post”, which is easy for him since he clearly knows his space. He’s an easy hang and you’ll settle in right away!”

— Nick Iacobelli  (Friend’s Like Strangers)

“Working with Mike was an incredible experience. He makes the entire process a breeze and his attention to detail was on point!”

— Zach Schumacher (A Beautiful Somewhere)

“Mike is one of the very few people I know who possesses a true passion for the art of sound! He has the ear and abilities necessary to achieve the vibe and styles that you’re looking for!”

— Dan See (Tarnished)
