“Seattle mastering · Independent & 5-star rated · Apple Digital Masters certified · Top 1% worldwide”
 

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

I listen for what matters, make a small set of high-impact moves, then check the master across real-world playback so it holds up everywhere. Masters come back clear, punchy, and emotionally intact, with clean, properly labeled deliverables, quick communication, and straightforward revisions if anything needs a nudge. The goal is a calmer release day: one clear direction you can trust.

 
 
 
 

Based in Seattle, I master records for artists worldwide, from local studios to a new wave of indie singer-songwriters. With 2,000+ masters and 3 billion plays, my track record places me in the top 1% of mastering engineers worldwide.

Muso.AI counts reflect combined streams and video views, excluding Apple Music.

At the bottom of each page, you’ll find playlists featuring artists I’ve mastered; living records 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 playback systems. I also contribute articles to Tape Op, Sound On Sound, and more, 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 best ways to carry your vision across the finish line. Going into release day, I keep things calm by delivering 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 you finish it with care.
