About

Im born and raised in south London, England, DJ'd in London's popular clubs for 12 years, Graduated from South Thames College AND University of West London with a BTEC Music Production (2002) and BA Music Technology (2007). I run a small/medium recording studio in Houston specializing in rock, pop and hip hop. Ive been known to bring clarity to mixes and deliver a large console sound at a cost that is wallet friendly. Ive been exposed to the British style of mix production earlier in my career before moving to Houston and exploiting my eclectic musical taste and varied production technique. Delivering the sound the client crave at a price that they can afford...there is no greater buzz!

Working with Calvin was exactly what my band needed! We wrote three original songs which needed recording in a studio. He was encouraging as an individual and experienced as a technician. He was always prompt and so hardworking. During the recording session, he created a wonderful raw and balanced mix that sounded natural. He knows just how to balance instruments and vocals to create a smooth and live performance type track. As an individual, he has a charismatic personality that creates a great atmosphere for everyone to work with him. Everything went so smoothly that we could surprisingly record all our songs in one recording session. He was always on time. His work captured the emotion and the slight nuances that musicians add in their music. In the future, my band will undeniably go to Calvin Venus for recording more of our compositions.

When entrusting your music production to another, the probabilities of gaining a product that is what you're hoping for, much less "more" than you're hoping, is probably a small success margin. The possibilities of your vision being misunderstood or missed in the end game are a very real problem. It is a fine line to put a light on a vision or reflect an idea and capture that vision without changing the vision to something not originally intended. Calvin Venus & Tonecrafters are gifted in taking a vision or idea that is already complete or well developed and polishing it into a heightened musical presentation. Their ability to add color and texture to a music production that enhances the dimensionality of a listening experience and not move it into an entirely new event, is a rare gift. From day one, my relationship with Calvin and Tonecrafters grew from great to life long family. After spending a year working on this debut album, we have created something that CCM hasn't seen since the likes of Rich Mullins. Creating something new and fresh, yet timeless and universal ... the world will soon learn more about this talented studio master of production.

Calvin Venus is an amazing man behind the music... besides the incredible accent... he is a man who diligently works for the best, does the best, listens not only to the music well, but also the client.... is extremely gifted... and fun to be around and work with all while having having a tremendous heart and putting the fullness of that heart into each project. He goes above and beyond... a true gift.
