I’m extremely excited to announce the re-opening of MINBAL. In Los Angeles! Moving forward, I’ll be focusing on composing, co-writing, music production and mixing in a deadly accurate 5.1 room that’s more of a lab than a lounge. Give me a holler and let’s work together!

It’s been quiet over here for a while as we’ve been working on some big changes. Today some exciting news from MINBAL:

As of September 1, Doug Malone has taken over as owner of the studio. With this change in ownership comes a new name, JAMDEK.

Over the past year or two I have transitioned from doing primarily engineering work into more writing, producing and composing. I brought on Doug as studio manager last year to help administer day-to-day operations of MINBAL. He’s done a fantastic job and cares about the studio and its clients as much as I do.

This transition has been something that the two of us have worked extremely hard on over the past four months. Doug and I share the same vision for the kind of creative music-making environment the studio provides, and I know I am leaving it in very capable hands. As we complete the transition from MINBAL to JAMDEK, our goal is to maintain smooth operations for the studio’s valued clients and engineers.

You can find Doug at:

I will continue to compose, produce and do mixing work under the MINBAL name, so you can continue to find me online at:

www.minbal.com | [email protected] | 773.263.6291

Thank you to all the clients, engineers, techs, interns, assistants, friends and family who have supported me and worked at studio over these last twelve (12!) years. It has truly been a fantastic experience!
