I help artists, labels, and creators turn their tracks into release‑ready, competitive records — from first mix notes through to final master. I’m AMB, an internationally recognized music producer, award winning mastering engineer, and Ableton Certified Trainer based in Los Angeles. I’m a 2× winner of my country’s national music awards (the equivalent of the Grammys) for Best Electronic Music, and I take every project seriously regardless of scope. I work directly with artists, producers, and content creators — from quick mix fixes and vocal edits to full productions and mastering. My track “Set in Stone” was the soundtrack to Interconnection by Limelight, the projection‑mapping piece at iMapp that won both the Jury’s Award and the People’s Choice Award. The piece, projected onto the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest, has been viewed 688,000+ times on YouTube. Over the past 25+ years I’ve produced and released original music, performed alongside artists like The Chemical Brothers, Glitch Mob, and Tipper, and worked as a mastering engineer on hundreds of records — including releases by Blair St. Clair (Warner Music), Del The Funky Homosapien (Gorillaz), CloZee, Mr. Bill, LSDream, and Ill Gates. The tracks I’ve mastered have collectively surpassed nearly 10M YouTube views, including Brains – Superheroes (3M+) and Brains feat. Punany Massif (2.3M+). My film and sync work includes mixing the score for Beneath the Leaves, starring Oscar Award winner Mira Sorvino, and remixing the original soundtrack for Time Lapse, a film edited by Oscar winner Tom Cross (Whiplash). I’m listed on Ableton’s official website as a certified trainer — one of approximately 360 worldwide. Beyond teaching software, I designed and ran the Music Production program at the Los Angeles Film School, building curriculum, coordinating faculty, and managing outcomes for 300+ students a month. I know how to structure learning so you actually progress, not just watch someone click around. What I offer on Upwork: • Audio mastering — stereo and stem mastering for release ready tracks. • Mixing and stem mixing — professional finishing for singles, EPs, and albums. • Music production — original composition, beats, cinematic scoring, and custom tracks for film, games, and content creators. • Ableton Live training — one on one sessions, curriculum design, and workflow coaching. • Cinematic video editing — music driven edits, demo reels, and atmospheric content built around your original score or licensed music. How I work: • We start with a short call or chat about your goals, references, and deadlines. • You send your files with clear labelling; I send an initial mix or master with notes. • We refine via focused revisions (typically up to 2–3 for mixes, 1–2 for masters) so you feel confident in the final result. • You receive all deliverables you need: WAV, mp3, instrumentals, stems, and any specific formats required by labels, distributors, or platforms. Search YouTube for “AMB Music” to hear my work, or ask me for direct links. If you need music that actually sounds good, a master that holds up on any system, or an Ableton session that finally makes sense, send me your track and a couple of references — I’ll reply with a concrete plan, timeline, and quote so you know exactly what to expect.
