Resume

Hello,

My name is Chris Burkhardt. I am a producer, audio engineer, and singer/songwriter. As a student at Berklee College of Music, I have completed the Music Production Professional Certificate as well as some other courses including Vocal Production, Music Theory, Microphone Techniques, and am certified in Pro Tools Fundamentals I and II. I have the capability to record up to 10 channels at a time with multiple microphones we can try on your voice/instruments including some warm tube microphones, quality large and small diaphragm condenser microphones, and dynamic microphones. I have a variety of instruments we can also use including acoustic and electric guitars, basses, amps, drum set (both electric and acoustic), and a keyboard. I also have contacts with some studio musicians from the band Never Too Late who are very versatile and can fit any style you need. I have worked with them on some of their single releases as well. I have a background in a variety of styles and I believe I can help you bring out your best performance. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to work with you on your next project.

Sincerely,

Chris Burkhardt
