Here’s a fun and revealing interview of Colin by Erica Heilman on her podcast Rumblestrip. They get down to the heart of what Colin does as a producer.

Colin does spoken word (podcast, audio books), ADR, commercial music, film-scoring and online content. Whether you record tracks in your own home project studio or have tracks from a professional studio, Colin can edit, process and mix them to professional quality.

Contact Colin with questions and quotes on anything from a simple one-song demo to a full-length feature album project.

If you’re in the WDEV or WNCS listening area, you’ve probably heard Colin’s jingles for Capitol grounds, Onion River Sports, The Shoe Horn, Planned Parenthood, and Cabot Creamery.
