Production
I shape productions that connect with your audience by focusing on three key elements:
Finding the emotional core of your song and making it impossible to ignore
Building arrangements that focus your vision and keep the listener captivated
Creating a unique sonic landscape that captures your energy and builds upon your carefully curated sound
After almost twenty years making rock records, I’ve learned that production isn’t about perfection—it’s about showcasing what makes your music unique.
Mixing
Do you self-produce or self-record but have trouble putting the finishing touches on your track? Reach out for a free quote on mixing services!
Shaping sonic landscapes is one of my favorite parts of the process.
If you like big, punchy drums, thunderous bass, driving guitars, ethereal keys, and superhuman vocals, and you want it all to sound clear and cohesive then I want to mix for you!
Do you use unconventional instrumentation in your songs? I love working with new sounds, bring it on!
Reviews
We recorded a full length album with Tony in two studios, and with his mobile rig at two other locations. I have nothing but good things to say about him and how much fun we had putting our album together.
Tony has an in depth knowledge of the technical aspects of his craft, resulting in radio quality, professional sounding recordings. Also, his ear is next level! He is able to communicate what he hears in a way that keeps your confidence while at the same time pushing you to attempt your best performance. He is a solid, good person and we look forward to the next project!

Tony is a gem. It's not easy finding an extremely competent engineer that is also inspiring to be around. Tony's patience, attitude and sunny disposition leave so much room for artistic freedom and expression, it's a joy working with him. I recommend him to even the most bitter curmudgeon of musicians. (Who knows... you might just learn something from him too... I did)

This guy gets it! I've had the pleasure to work with Tony a lot and he's been fantastic! Not only is he a great producer, recording and mixing engineer, but also great to work with and a great dude. You'll never regret hiring him, but you will regret NOT hiring him

I've been working with Anthony for several years and thanks to his great ear and production skills I've won awards and have had several songs played on regular rotation on hundreds of radio stations around the world!!

My Approach
The best productions happen when everyone is on the same page. That’s why I take time to understand your songs before we lay down a single track.
Through listening to your demos or performances, I will focus on finding any elements of the song that distract from the message or emotional impact, and together we will work those elements until they help your song to shine.
Ready to make something awesome?
Let’s talk about your music and how to elevate it to where we know it can go. Send me a message and link me to your demos. Let’s start planning a record you’ll be proud of years from now.

So Who Is This Guy Anyways?
I was 10 years old when I first picked up my Dad's Les Paul and realized that the guitar was something I wanted to dive headfirst into. Over the following years I was introduced to music such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and more, and that's when Rock And Roll sunk its teeth into me and never let go.
It was a few years later when I first laid my hands on a mixing board. I remember being fascinated by it and everything it could do to shape sound, so whenever I could I would experiment with it and learn everything I was able to about how it worked. I was lucky enough to know someone who was experienced in the recording arts, Jim, who gave me valuable instruction and feedback in those early years and would later introduce me to Todd who let me sit in on some sessions in his commercial studio, Risque Disque Records. I would spend a total of 8 years working for Todd and Risque Disque Records starting as a wallflower and ending in 2018 as the Studio Manager and Head Engineer. That was an amazing time in my life, I had free reign of a well equipped, purpose built studio where I could work, learn, and experiment freely, and that is where I really honed my craft.
I realized through my time at Risque Disque Records that I have a passion for production. I really love to dive into a song, determine what the core of that song is, what is complimenting that core what is distracting from it, what it catching the listeners ear and what is losing the listeners attention, then working with artists to come up with creative ways to turn those distractions that lose the listener into cool compliments that elevate the song and keep the listener hooked.
As the in-house engineer for a commercial studio I found that I was limited in the kind of Producing I could do for the artists that came through the doors, so in 2018 I left Risque Disque Records so that I could dive deeper into the production side of music. Since then I have been collaborating with bands and solo artists alike to achieve their artistic visions for their art and to experience the thrill of creating amazing recordings.
If you want to realize the potential of your song and craft a production that puts all eyes on the very core of your inspiration, send me a message. Let's rock.
