Hello there, people of the internet. I am a record producer, mixer, composer and sound designer based in Seattle, WA.

I have a nice audio workshop here where I’m focused on running my publishing/licensing venture The License Lab with the help of our very kickass global team (our 10 labels are available worldwide through Universal Music).

From time to time I’ve been known to produce and/or mix projects for other artists, as well, when the fit and vibe are just right.

I also make original music and bespoke sounds and instruments and release them under my HOLTERGEIST moniker, more info at holtergeist.io.

My original recording studio Wire & Vice is located in a 1930s-era post office near Harley Davidson and the original Miller brewery just outside Milwaukee, WI. Proud of the fact that we hosted a diverse range of musical artists over our 20 years there, from Rihanna and Eric Benet, to Chester French, Maritime, and Skillet. Very happy to report that as of September 2021, I’ve sold the studio and the building it is in. You can read a bit more about that here: Tosa’s World Class Wire & Vice Recording Studio Is Changing Hands.

Over the years, I’ve mixed music by artists such as Collections of Colonies of Bees, Over The Rhine, Amos Lee, Field Report, Dramatic Lovers (f. The Promise Ring, Maritime, and Decibully alum), Blitzen Trapper, Crowded House, Nick Lowe, Dead Horses, Strehlow, Abby Jeanne, Arum Rae, and Ryan Higa. Mixing remains my favorite part of the music making process. I am usually booked out a few weeks to a couple of months, so please get in touch as early as possible if you’re interested in including me in your upcoming releases.

I have also composed and/or produced thousands of cues currently being used by such varied clients as Apple, Nike, Google, Microsoft, GM & Gatorade, virtually all of the top shows on HBO, ESPN, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all across the globe in tv, radio, advertisements, videogames and film. There’s a partial list of placements here.

If you’re interested in working together, email remains the best way to reach me.
