About
Trained in the room.
Built for the mix.
Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Tom studied at the Phoenix Conservatory of Music from 2012–2019 before earning a degree in Music Production & Engineering and Saxophone Performance from the Berklee College of Music.
That path — performance stages, studio control rooms, and live sound consoles — shapes every session. Whether it's tracking a full band, mixing a single, mastering a release, or sitting in on sax, the goal is the same: capture something real and make it sound its best.
