About Me
Who is Fried.Mix!?!
As a Drummer, Mixing Engineer, and Mastering Engineer, my goal is to sonically elevate your song, EP, or Album.
I have accumulated over 215 song credits for roughly 50 artists throughout my career! My work with Indie-Pop band 'Peach Luffe' has led us to achieve over 15 million streams on Spotify, playing South By SouthWest as one of 21 Canadian acts accepted, performing for CBC Live, playing a headline show in Los Angeles, and accumulating 2 million overall likes and 30,000 followers on our TikTok.
In addition to working with Indie and Label-Signed creatives, I also provide drum lessons! I have a wide array of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels. Lessons can be done remotely or in-person 😊

Testimonial Section
As a new producer, Michael made the mastering step super simple and easy easy for me. I'm an independent artist and I was not very familiar with the mastering process. Michael is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. He helped make the process much less daunting. He is super responsive and turns out excellent polishes to my mixes. Cheers Michael!
Carl Meschino
Michael came highly recommended from a professional in the industry (who is also a friend) when I needed help with my own home recordings. It couldn’t have worked out better. He is a great guy to work with but most importantly his knowledge and expertise and problem solving is excellent. He’s also patient and creative ... very happy with the results and look forward to doing more :)
Mitch Starkman
Mike was recommended to me by a friend who is a music professional, and I was so glad we connected! He helped mix and master my first recorded song and made the experience so delightful. He went above and beyond by passionately answering all my questions and giving me an in-depth view into his process. I learned so much from him. I also appreciate how patient he was with my many requests for tweaks. Mike is warm, friendly, professional, and a joy to work with! Highly recommended.
Jessica Fan
Great working with Michael. He's kind, patient and does what YOU want!
Peach Luffe
Patient, polite, and as genuinely nice as a person can be--a true professional in every sense!
I sent Fried.Mix a 9-song album to work on. He was highly collaborative, respectful of the original musical vision, and a knowledgable resource with reliable (and correct!) decision-making choices. He even mixed and mastered the project while moving houses during the holidays in the midst of a global pandemic!!!!
Throughout the entire process, he repeatedly checked in on my opinions and was quick to reply to my texts, emails and calls. Once completed, he also walked me through the distribution process and the next steps, as well as tips for future recording sessions.I felt hugely respected as an artist and as a person-- he is also very quick with a joke during times of distress and worry.
Even though this was my first release, I have no doubt in my mind that this is the platinum standard of how musical work should be done!HIGHLY recommended!

Michael is a personable and talented person and his skill is easily showcased by his work. You can’t go wrong working with him and he will blow past whatever your expectations are. Keep up the amazing work Michael!
Mathieu Mina
SIR THIS IS THE STUFF I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR MORE THAN A DECADE THANKING GOD FOR YA. I listen to my own songs in the shower because you made them sound so nice.
Growing Golden
Michael is super reliable, responsive and crazy fast at completing anything I've asked (remixes and also adding drums to a mix). He's finished everything early and is super enthusiastic about what he does. He's very creative and has a great ear for what works. Super easy and pleasant to work with. I vote Michael!
Catherine Colleen
Michael helped produce, mix and master my album, Subwoofer. I can say with absolute confidence that he made my music better. If you are looking for someone with wonderful ideas, keeps to timelines and is easy to work with, then look no further! Don't have enough good things to say about Fried.Mix!
Small Dog Barking
Michael mastered my whole album beautifully. He takes his work very seriously. I would love to work with him again.
Davrielle
Fried.Mix is one of the most easy going but determined minds I have encountered in the music industry. His thorough knowledge of recording, production, mixing and mastering techniques allows for a convenient workflow where you can truly feel confident in the fact that your art is in good hands.
Jairo
Professional and friendly. Gives honest, sound advice (and the puns come free). No egos here, just good work and good vibes.
