Studio - Jo Garden

Working in the music industry full-time for more than 20 years, I have produced, engineered, mixed and mastered many records that have received high critical acclaim and commercial success for artists from all over the world, over various genres. I am also an accomplished songwriter, guitarist, bassist and keyboardist. I live for making music!

Years of experience have taught me that a number of elements need to come together to make a great record: The song – the arrangement – the artist – the instrument – the performance – the room – the equipment – engineering – the mix – mastering. It is my job to get the best out of each link in this chain and guide them throughout the whole process.
