Hey, I’m Dave.
I’m a recording and mixing engineer, studio owner, and creative consultant with over a decade of experience helping artists bring their ideas to life
Since 2011, I’ve worked across every level of the music industry — from building studios, record stores and teaching audio engineering, to producing, mixing, mastering, and developing talent. Some of the creative spaces I’ve founded include DLM Recording Studio, Monk Fidelity Sound Lab, Chamber 43, and BlueWav Studio in LA.
My Approach
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all process — because the work I do is personal, and so is the person behind it. Whether we’re in a session, on a call, or building something from scratch, my job is to understand what the project means to you — not just what it sounds like.
I take a step back before I step in. I observe how you create, how you think, and where your vision wants to go. Then I move with intention — sometimes experimental, sometimes minimal, always in service of the work.
I’m not here to sell you a method. I’m here to help you uncover the version of your sound that feels the most you — through honesty, collaboration, and the instinct I’ve sharpened over years of doing this with artists who care just as much as I do.
This work is personal for you. It’s personal for me, too.
