My name is Josh. I am a mix engineer based in Manchester. UK. 

 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been listening to music from tapes to CDs, MP3 players, iPods, and now the streaming norm that we embrace today. Music has always been a part of my life and has given me a feeling that I can’t describe and it hasn’t gone away no matter how I’m feeling. 

 

I love what I get to do, which is to work with friends to help bring their musical ideas to life in order to impact people’s lives. 

 

My job as a mix engineer is to not let myself and my tools get in the way of the emotional impact of your music but to enhance it to its fullest so that it can maybe help a person through a difficult situation, brighten someone’s day, or inspire someone to chase their dreams. If we lose the emotional aspect of music, it loses its magic and the ability to change someone’s life. My life was changed by music and so can someone else’s.
