Welcome
Hey, I’m C. Jordan Alexander, but you can call me CJ! I’m an alternative jazz producer and the owner of Aural Alchemists.
I help soulful, genre-fluid artists craft music that connects with people’s hearts and minds with formal training in Jazz, a maximalist approach to compositiong, and years producing/engineering across genres.
Check out my work! If you feel it’s a good fit, then book a free song audit to get started!

A selection of work spanning Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, and beyond. Each project represents a collaboration where vision met realization—and the music speaks for itself.
The Music We Create
I create music that transforms sophisticated musical ideas into visceral emotional experiences. My approach hinges on bridging cerebral complexity with dramatic impact.
This manifests through:
- maximalist writing and production that makes intricate ideas feel full and alive
- harmonic richness that creates emotional depth through color and movement
- rhythmic intricacy that balances infectious grooves with musical density
- authentic fusion of Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop and beyond that draws on multiple emotional vocabularies
When put together, these elements create what I call enriching episodes of catharsis and epiphany.

JAY TYRE

"Honestly, I wanna gatekeep him, haha, because I know as more artists work with him, his skill will shine even brighter, and his price will skyrocket! But in all seriousness, I recommend CJ to any real musician because he is iron that sharpens iron."

"He has a real talent for seeing the song in its entirety — zooming out to capture the essence and then zooming in to bring it to life. I loved how we got to know the song together and then gave it the textures it deserved."
Chairman Allen

"I’ve brought CJ multiple sets of music and to my surprise he completely changed the sound without changing the song. It’s beyond talent, this is passion, practice, and persistence at its finest. Overall 6 out of 5 stars."

"Working with CJ was great! He was very efficient and straightforward. I loved his ability to quickly recognize what sounds I was going for. I’d recommend CJ for a myriad of reasons, but the main being his adaptability."
Javon
@javon773
"He knew when things wasn’t sounding correct and that helped out big time because most people won’t even say anything just to keep the ball rolling."
Alscoop
@al.scoop
"What stood out most was the energy he brought to every session and his ability to take my ideas to a higher level. I’d recommend him to any artist looking for someone who not only understands the craft but also pushes you to grow and bring out your best."

How I Contribute To Your Music
I guide music from vision through realization with every choice serving emotional expression and genuine substance.
My holistic approach integrates writing, performance, and audio as one unified creative journey rather than separate disconnected stages.
The result is a distinct record where nothing feels arbitrary or disconnected from your vision.
Your artistic voice remains unmistakably yours throughout. You get a vibrant cornucopia of sounds that brings your vision to its fullest potential.
What Collaborating Looks Like
Working together means high-energy collaboration where we’re both fully engaged and challenging each other toward the best possible work. Communication is direct and honest, even when that means difficult creative conversations.
The process has a driving momentum when the music’s path is clear. AND we take time to experiment, refine, and perfect details when the music demands we slow down.
The atmosphere stays inspiring and fun throughout. We joke and enjoy the process while holding ourselves to rigorous standards. You leave with work you’ll stand behind for your career.
