A few of the artists I've recorded and mixed — indie, post-punk, and shoegaze mostly, sometimes heavier.

On stage, not just in the studio.
Sounding great on a record is one thing — sounding great in the room is another. I mix live sound for concerts and clubs, and I also record and film live sessions for musicians, wherever you're playing.
Your band's engineer
Front-of-house and monitors for a local show, or on the road with you on tour. I learn your set, keep your sound consistent from venue to venue and make soundchecks quick.
Room & monitors
I tune the system to the specific venue and ring out the PA and wedges before doors open, so there's no unwanted feedback. I also set up wireless in-ear monitoring, so every musician hears exactly what they need.
Gear, sorted
I put together the full equipment rental for your event — PA, console, mics, monitors — sized to the room and the job, from a club gig to a wedding.
Technical direction
For bigger events — music festivals, corporate events and weddings — I can take on the whole technical side as technical director.
Consoles: Midas M32 · Yamaha CL5 · Allen & Heath Qu-5 · Behringer Wing — and most other modern desks.
More live sessions and shows going up soon.

What I can do for your music.
Recording
I match the space to your project and budget. For vocals, guitar or bass overdubs, and demos, I record at my home studio in Paris. For live drums or full-band sessions, I book time at partner studios around Paris.
Mixing
Fast turnaround (usually within a week), with up to three rounds of revisions included. Remote-friendly — send me your stems from anywhere in the world. Every mix comes back polished and release-ready.
Live Sound
Mixing for concerts, clubs, festivals, and events in Paris — or on tour with your band. Clear, powerful sound for the audience and reliable monitoring for performers.
Coaching
One-on-one feedback on your mixes, productions, or workflow. I identify strengths, weaknesses, and give specific, actionable steps to level up.

The long version.
My path into sound started far from a studio chair. From 2019, I worked as a stage and audio technician at Kozlov Club in Moscow, then held the same role at Mutabor techno club. Those years taught me to work fast on stage and to stay calm when things get tense.
In 2021 I started The Sextape (later became Sextape of Lovers) with friends, playing guitar — heavy garage blues-rock in the spirit of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Black Angels. When we went into the studio to record our first album, I stepped in as co-producer, and for the first time I could experiment with the sounds I'd been hearing on my favorite records. That album shaped my style and my love for fuzz guitars, spring reverb, tape delay and overdriven vocals.
In 2022 I left the band and moved to Armenia, where I became chief sound engineer and technical director at TUF club — and that same year opened my own recording studio, TUF records. That's where I started building my own collection of gear: a vintage 8-channel transistor mixing desk from the '70s, ribbon microphones and a few characterful overdrive pedals. On the live side, other venues in Yerevan soon started calling me too, so I kept sharpening my skills both in the studio and on stage.
In 2023 I moved to Paris without a single instrument. A friend lent me her bass "for a while" — I still have it lol. I joined two bands, Aga Zadka and KROKODIL, as a bassist, and we started playing shows, getting to know the local scene and its talented musicians. That's when I started recording and mixing friends and the bands around me, like Laces, Potager, Yes Orel, Sonder Rage, Hollow Tide, Eigengrau, Pivots, and Barely Blue — some of whom now also bring me along as their live sound engineer. In 2025 I joined Versari Studios as an assistant engineer.
Live sound has always run in parallel with the studio work. I've mixed shows for artists including Arnaud Rebotini and Denis Lavant, as well as rising acts like Pivots, Feia and Gros Boris, and worked at some of Paris's most iconic venues — Petit Bain, Supersonic, Péniche Antipode, Serpent à Plumes, Les Étoiles and Le Chinois — as well as the legendary Crazy Horse cabaret. Since February 2026, I've been fully independent.
