Testimonials:

Phil mixed my whole last record "Keeper of Days" and it wouldn't have been the same without him. His taste and his decisions are so musical, and so attuned to the individual song. It's like he puts on your ears when he's mixing and gives you what you were going for from the start. He's also a people-person through and through, which makes the experience 10x more fun. I couldn't recommend him more highly! - jon guerra (producer, artist)

For years, Phil has been my go-to mix engineer. While many mixers pride themselves in making your mix sound good, Phil makes your song FEEL like a finished record. He has, by far, the most musical approach to mixing of any mixer I've ever worked with. My clients are always blown away by Phil's ability to focus a production into its best version. I will continue to trust Phil to mix my productions for years to come! - zach kranz (producer, artist)
