A product of the Hamilton punk & hardcore scenes,
Mickey grew up listening to records that were fast, loud, and tastefully different. Like the city itself, his approach tends to showcase the raw individuality of the bands he works with, often leaving their rough edges intact.
In 2014, he was brought into BTown Sound under Justin Koop (Silverstein, Grade, Walk Off The Earth) and has been fortunate to have worked on sessions with numerous Juno and Grammy-winning artists & producers like David Kahne (Sublime, Taking Back Sunday, Wilco) and Arnold Lanni (Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven, Simple Plan) among many others.
As the studio’s longtime assistant engineer - and the least important guy in the room - Mickey was able to quietly learn from a slew of top-tier engineers, pulling their best production lessons and tactics into his own workflows.
He has since established connections with a number of Hamilton-area studios and can offer options when looking to match the right studio environment to the vibe of a specific recording project.
Constantly refining his approach to making rock ‘n roll records, he loves helping good bands put out great releases.
Fast.
Loud.
Tastefully different.

"With Mickey, you just know what you're going to get - high quality recordings and mixes. He's an absolute pro."
Tyler Martin (Southwood Collect)
"A master craftsman; he subtly forces you to dig in on every take and performance... rare to find in a world demanding perfection."
Joe Straynge (Rough Party)
Production
From the initial pre-production sessions to overseeing the delivery of final masters, Mickey can be brought onto your project to steer the ship from start to finish.
Tempos, transitions and dynamics are held in high regard. Your record is more than just a collection of songs… get it right from the beginning and set your release up for success.
Mixing
The mix matters. A lot.
Whether your raw tracks were recorded in a pro studio or crafted in a DIY-centric environment, a great mix will bring those tracks to life. The final quality & feel of your release will be influenced more heavily during the mix than any other part of the production process.
Working with Mickey will ensure your mixes are hitting the way they should, regardless of where you tracked the project.
