Build a Sustainable Mix Career

Your mix skills aren’t the problem, but Your empty calendar is.

I get it. You started as a musician, producer, or bandmate, then one day realized you were running a business without ever learning how.

I work 1:1 with mixers to build them sustainable careers without burning out (or selling out).

Be honest with yourself.

You know how to make a mix. You don’t know how to make a living.

I’ve worked with over 500 engineers worldwide and the same patterns show up again and again:

Hiding from the business side and hoping it works itself out

Charging $200 a song when you should be at $500

Working 70 hours a week and still behind on bills

Waiting for referrals instead of creating consistent opportunities

Join 500+ engineers who escaped feast-or-famine and built consistent income.

    Mix Engineer

For many years I worked behind the scenes with world-class engineers Jon Castelli (Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, SZA), Ruairí O’Flaherty (Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey), and Nathan Dantzler (Sabrina Carpenter, Niall Horan, Teddy Swims).

What I learned from them wasn’t just how to mix. It was how they thought about their work, their clients, and their careers.

These lessons are what I’ve translated into frameworks for every mixer, not just the A-list.

Real Results

This isn’t theory. Here is what clients have actually achieved:

Jumped from $150 to $400 per song in 8 weeks

Increased income from $3K months to $12K months

Recovered $300,000 in lost revenue through smarter processes

Closed their biggest sale in under two weeks

Doubled rates and booked an entire year of work

Went from struggling to working on Grammy-nominated albums

Built systems that prevent repeated burnout

Grew from 1–2 clients to over 25 steady clients in under a year

Shifted from giving free work to earning full fees with confidence

Learned how to pitch, negotiate, and follow up without fear

  • Michael helped me see my business completely differently. The line between personal and business growth began to blur as we aligned on values both should be built upon. He has a unique way of focusing conversations to tease out what makes you and your brand the most concise version of themselves.

  • "Not only has my workflow improved, but I've also noticed a significant decrease in stress and overwhelm."

    Julia Borelli (Berlin)
    RÜFÜS Du Sol, Anyma, Solomun

  • "His ability to help structure your strategy, streamline your systems, and simplify all the boring sh*t that usually gets in the way of landing work, is next level."

    Mike Avenaim (Los Angeles)
    Zac Brown Band, Sara James, Maisy Kay

  • "Michael helped me realize I don't need to chase every opportunity. I always had this scarcity fear that if I didn't say yes to everything, the phone would never ring again."

    Matt Keller (Arizona)
    Taking Back Sunday, The Maine, Demi Lovato
