Meet Mike

     For nearly 30 years, Mike was an A-list mix engineer in New York City, working in acclaimed recording studios including Electric Lady, Sony Studios, Hit Factory, Unique Recording Studios, Quad, Power Station/Avatar, and others, He produced records top-charted hit records for artists including Mary J. Blige, Jessica Simpson, Boys II Men, Wu-Tang Clan, Brian McKnight, The Temptations, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Tariq & Gunz, 702, Brandy, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, Marilyn Manson and scores of others. 

     Mike's work with Mary J. Blige (MCA Records) and Brandy (Atlantic) earned Mike two Grammy awards, and his other work has garnered him 23 platinum albums. He remains a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (the Grammys) to this day. Mike also designed and taught advanced engineering courses at the world's largest media college, Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.

     However, health issues forced Mike out of the studios in New York and Los Angeles due to the sheer length of an average major-label recording session, Mike used his decades of experience and built a studio of his own. He began recording voice-overs for commercials and instructional design, and now he focuses almost solely on producing audio books for clients including Audible, Amazon, Findaway Voices, Capricorn Literary, Defiance Press and Pro Audio Voices.

     He has narrated titles for authors like John A. Russo, including the horror classics "Night of the Living Dead" and "Black Cat", romance novels like "Mail Order Brides" and "Ruby's Prayer" for Defiance Press, and fictional historical/biographical adventures like "The Monroe Legacy" for author Jim Wetton, published through Gatekeeper Press.

     Mike does all of the work in-house, keeping your production costs low and the quality of the recording remains as high as they were for his major-label recording artists for 30 years. Contact him today about your upcoming project, and let his years of experience pay off for you by bringing your next book to life in the way it truly deserves to be.
