Guitar Faces — Mastering Services

Mastering is an art — and a science

Santana was talking about playing guitar!

Guitar Faces promises only smiling faces—no grimaces no cringe

My job is to make your final mix sound like it belongs on the same playlist as your inspirations.
And I'll do it so it sounds right on every device and streaming service..

I was born into a musical household and I grew up surrounded by instruments of all kinds, wanting to play them all. I wrote and copyrighted my first song, Relax, at age 9. At 19, in the San Francisco Bay area, I wrote and performed all-original music and at age 20 I released a 4-song 12" vinyl EP. Back in Canada, age 21, I for the first time began paying the rent by my guitar, and over the next 15 years I played coast to coast in cover bands that aimed to sound like the record—getting a solid jumpstart on skills I use now to make your music sound like your inspirations!.
