Hi, I’m Alex, and I help artists put the final touches on their music.

I know how hard it is—especially for self-releasing artists—to find someone you trust with the final step. You’re buying certainty: one clear direction, clean delivery, and a calmer release day.

My approach is built on experience, careful listening, and a method I’ve refined over years so your music translates everywhere. No presets. No algorithms. Just thoughtful, tailored mastering—handled personally, from start to finish.

Based in Seattle, I master records for artists worldwide — from local studios to a new wave of indie singer-songwriters. With over 1,800 masters and 2 billion plays, my track record places me in the top 1% of mastering engineers worldwide.

Muso.AI counts reflect combined streams and video plays (excluding Apple Music).

At the bottom of each page, you’ll find playlists featuring the artists I’ve mastered — a living snapshot of the music I’ve helped bring into the world.

 
 

My work is informed by The Wright Balance Method: an approach grounded in musicality, emotional clarity, and translation across all playback systems. I maintain a hearing health reference for musicians committed to listening for a lifetime. And I also contribute articles to Tape Op, Sound On Sound, SonicScoop, and Production Expert, exploring the craft and psychology of finishing music.

 
 

I’m grateful for the dozens of five-star reviews—thank you for trusting me with your music. This work means a lot to me.

I’m fully independent—no agents, no assistants. Just me, focused on your record. I believe working directly with your mastering engineer is one of the most important ways to bring your vision across the finish line. Going into release day, I help artists feel calm and certain by delivering masters quickly, communicating clearly, and keeping the process drama-free.

If you’d like, send what you’ve made—I’d love to hear it, and help finish it with care and confidence.

 
 
  • The final act of listening — a dialogue between the artist’s vision and the world that will soon hear it.

    I run Alexander Wright Mastering from Seattle and work with artists worldwide through a fully human online mastering process. Every master is handled personally by me — not AI, not presets — with a focus on clarity, depth, and emotional fidelity. My approach balances precision with restraint: preserving the mix’s intent while refining its translation on every system. Whether your song began in a bedroom or a major studio, I’ll help it sound alive, balanced, and honest.
