Featured Work

Hear how I’ve helped artists craft music that stands out — then decide if we’re the right fit to bring your vision to life.

Music That’s Honest Deserves Collaboration That Is Too

I’m CJ, a hands-on producer with roots in Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Soul. I help career-focused artists transform raw musical ideas into records that hit hard, showcase your skill, and stand the test of time.

My writing and production style combines precise craftsmanship with maximalist musicality:

Sophisticated Harmony — rich chords, reharmonization, complex progressions
Intricate Grooves & Rhythms — melodic basslines, syncopation, polyrhythms
Creative Unorthodoxy — breaking conventions in unexpected ways
Thoughtful Expression — lyrics & music with intellectual depth and emotional impact
Genre Fusion — pulling ideas from multiple traditions to create something truly unique

If your songs are fueled by something real — but tangled in chaotic projects, unsupportive collaborators, or creative overwhelm — I’m here to help. I bring clarity, momentum, and precision to the process so you can create the way you’re meant to.

Every artist has a distinct voice. My job is to refine it, elevate it, and capture it. Listen to a few examples of records I’ve helped shape—from writing and arrangement to full production and engineering.

The Art & Intention Behind My Work

What Artists Say

Your music deserves someone who listens, understands, and brings out its full potential. My goal is to make sure your vision comes to life with care and collaboration. But don’t just take my word for it—hear from artists who have experienced it firsthand:

"CJ is so kind. He's so communicative. He is so timely. We recorded this record in December, you know, so it's like about to be the holidays and he's sending me album edits back just like despite all of the craziness of the holidays usually is for people. Like you can count on CJ absolutely — no matter what — to handle your record with a ton of care and to communicate everything to the utmost the entire way. You know you can give him feedback on things that you want to be changed and he'll just do it. You know, he's amazing. He's positive. He's professional. I would give him 10 out of 10 stars."

JAY TYRE

"CJ is very detailed and his work ethic is impeccable—truly impressive. I can easily see him working with prominent artists and professionals who appreciate his multitude of skills. What made me happiest was when he played sax on my song and was just being himself. CJ's attention to detail was amazing. 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."

King Trystian

"I not only realized I was getting great music made, but I realized I was also having fun. I think that’s why I enjoyed working with CJ. It was fun and got work done very smoothly... Communication was great. I never felt like CJ was bored or tired. He was in the session all the way with you with great feedback and energy... I trusted him very well after hearing the results... He always tended to my needs and also if I felt I heard something — he was able to investigate it. I will be recommending CJ to everyone! I also hope to work with CJ again! Hopefully soon!"

"Working with CJ was an incredible experience. I would 100% book again, no questions asked. 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. 'Suit of Armor' is a perfect example—CJ took my basic MIDI and had the vision to enhance it, finishing the track that very day! I was thrilled with the final result, and I’m almost positive I used every one of his ideas on the final tracks. Can’t say thank you enough."

Chairman Allen

@chairman__allen

"Working with CJ has been one of the biggest absolute pleasures as a musician thus far. Not only his understanding for what a song should sound like but how a song is composed all together! 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."

Alscoop

"Working with CJ was an enriching experience—he brought strong creative direction, honest feedback, and a professional perspective that helped shape my vision. 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."

Nick Monte

@nick_monte_trumpet

"CJ embodies everything it means to be a consummate professional. He goes above and beyond his client's needs to deliver an exceptional product and experience. His perspective and expert audio craftsmanship are worth every penny."

Tom Izinga

@tominzinga

"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."

"Working with CJ was one of my first experiences recording with a live band. Great vibes, definitely fun to work with!"

Should We Work Together?

If you’re an artist with a clear voice, serious work ethic, and high standards — but you’re done juggling timelines, people, and creative overwhelm — I’m your guy.

You want creative synergy and trusted execution — not another task to babysit.

✔️ Records That Actually Feel Like You
You care about sound, structure, and emotional weight — and want music that reflects your full artistic identity.

✔️ Structure That Supports, Not Squeezes
This is a production system, not a straitjacket. You’ll have process and clarity — with room to explore.

✔️ A Partner Who’s All-In
You show up with care, intention, and ambition. I match that energy — musically, professionally, and creatively.

✔️ An Investment That Matches the Vision
You’re ready to invest in quality music — not just for polish, but for the partnership, process, and outcomes that elevate your work.

My role is to help you unlock your sound’s full potential — whether that’s through composition, production, or engineering. I bridge artistic vision with technical execution, ensuring every track feels intentional, immersive, and distinct.

I thrive on pushing creative boundaries, balancing accessibility with depth, and creating recordings that feel uniquely you. If this sounds good to you, I’d love to talk about what’s next for your music. Book a free Clarity Call to get started!
