OTTO HALONEN

I mix like a bandmate, not a technician.

I'm Otto – a guitarist, vocalist, producer and a mixer who's spent years chasing the imperfect balance between chaos and control.
I know what it's like to write a song that rips you open, and how hard it is to make that emotion survive the recording process.

That's why I mix like a bandmate, not a technician – because ever since I was a teenager, I've been obsessed with that feeling when a song doesn't just "sound cool", but moves your body AND your soul. And yes, I realize that sounds super cheesy... but if you know, you know.

That's my goal in every mix.
