Michael cut his teeth as a staff recording engineer at both Creation Audio and Sound 80 recording studios in Minneapolis during the 1990’s.  He also worked as an Engineer, Producer, and Director of A&R at Compass Productions from 1998 through 2006.

 

With over 20 years experience in the music business as a singer/songwriter, recording engineer, producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, and all around music fan, Michael finds himself most comfortable in the recording studio working with artists to deliver great songs.

“Michael is the secret weapon of music production.  His creative capacities are endless and the fact that he can play just about any instrument makes the recording/production process that much easier.  In the past when recording, I have felt rushed and stressed about it, however, working with Michael I realize that it is about enjoying the process and the music.  He has a knack for taking care of the details and he truly cares about capturing the right vibe for what you’re doing at the moment.  Michael went all out to make my tunes as realized as possible.”
