Defy Recordings

I'm a Grammy and Emmy nominated Producer/Engineer/Mixer living in New York City. In the past I've been on staff at some of the most prestigious studios here in New York. I've been freelance since the mid 90's, working with many artists, composers and companies. In 2002 I was a founding partner of 2 companies: Company X Media and Sugarbox Studios. There I was able to expand my resume to include commercial and film work. In 2007 I started my own company called Defy Recordings LLC. This new venture includes my 20+ years of music production and engineering, as well as a growing business in mastering and music licensing for television and film.
