If you’re looking for someone that will push you past what you think, feel or see. Look no further. I’ve had 2 songwriting lessons thus far and I am learning things about myself and my learning style. He is so professional and knowledgeable that it makes writing songs easier than doing it on your own. I would definitely recommend!

One of the Best Engineers in the game right now. I’m so glad that I’m stumbled upon him . I sent him a message around 2 am in the morning and In 15 mins he probably responded. If you want to have your songs quality match up with the top music artists in the industry I promise you J smash gives you that and more. Feel free to communicate and ask him questions because that’s when you truly get the best of the best in J smash!

First off only being able to choose up to three items doesn't describe my first 30 min free session with Will. He was very punctual, responsive, professional and provided me with good working quality. I'm being given way more value then what he is asking for within my learning session with him. He makes things so much more easier and understandable. I'm so eager and excited about our future sessions together. Tacarsha

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am YOUR personal engineer for hire. One thing all the greats have in common is an in house engineer. Hire me to record, mix, and master your project with the care it deserves! Brand new Universal Audio system with the converters to get that bottom end round and the airy high. Plethora of universal audio plugins as well as some key pieces of outboard gear that I actually use. Got a big project? Consider upfront package deals. Contact for pricing
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After you've booked with us, expect a call to both confirm your appointment and your goals. The first call will be short and will help us get familiar with you so we can know how to best serve you, while you get to know us and our process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a pro tracking and mix engineer in the music industry (let's connect!). I've worked in Hitco (ATL), Tree Sound (ATL), Dreamville (LA), and Doppler Studios (ATL) to name a few. All multi platinum facilities.
