Hello! I’m James. My Love of music led me to pick up a guitar at eight years old. Fascinated with the sounds an electric guitar can make, I explored the many possibilities. Plugging in pedals and turning knobs has taught me a lot about signal flow and gain structure as well as how to use a musicians greatest asset, their heart and ears!

Writing music and playing in bands naturally drew me to the recording arts. Time Designs Publishing was founded in 1982 as a means to copyright recordings via ASCAP . I became chief engineer and studio manager of Ayer Studios, the South San Francisco Bay’s first 24 track 2″ tape facility. Now currently producing artists at Studio Alum Rock and Ulia Studios.

Being part of the SF Bay’s music scene has been a wonderful experience providing me the opportunity to collaborate with so many talented artist. I’d also like to thank the many teachers who have shown me patience and encouraged me to have fun with the creative process.
