Objective
I am looking to take the first step in my quest to own and operate my own recording studio with the overriding objective of making great music with great artists. In order to make this happen, I am seeking an opportunity to join a progressive studio that will allow me to build upon my audio production education, work on state-of-the-art equipment, and learn the business from the ground up, while making a real contribution to the success of the studio.
