about
Goobyland provides recording and mixing services out of a century-old Seward Park home. My goal is to provide a comfortable, vibrant space where artists can focus on their music, without the strains of a traditional studio experience.
As a musician with decades of experience on both sides of the glass, my engineering style recognizes that recording and songwriting are inextricably linked. Making music is a sacred practice, and I strive to make the experience as fun, magical, and soul affirming as it should be.
As the only studio operating out of Seward Park that includes access to two beautiful cats and a hot tub, recording at Goobyland is a unique experience.

LENA It's nice to have that mediator giving valuable feedback who's not attached to something personally or vulnerably.
SAM Someone who's giving a lot of good affirmations but not being a yes man. Honest feedback, but building you up when you need it.
CAM I remember there were one or two things he almost fought us on. Not aggressively, but he was like “No, you should do it this way.” And I was like "I don't know, buddy but okay for now we'll leave it that way." And then listening back, he was so fucking right.
