About Me

I am a record producer.
I've made a lot of cool albums.
Chances are good you have heard of a few.
You may even own a few.
I have over a million MySpace plays from my clients and have albums selling in several countries around the world.
My clients often become my friends.
I don't feel bad about working you hard. Your album is important.
I don't make "pop" music, but if I ever won a Grammy, I wouldn't put "Grammy award winner" all over everything. I think that's cheesy.
I don't drive a sports car, go to cool clubs, or try to impress people by being the current trend.
I'm just me, BUT I absolutely assure you that when I agree to work with an artist I will be more serious about their music than anyone else on the planet.
I own Seventh Wave Studio in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
It's won a few awards and so have I.
I am proud of awards, but I do not use them as credibility flags to wave around.
It's the only studio of it's kind. It's an experience unlike anything else. I mean it. It just had a $50,000.00 facelift.
You can afford me.
I'm cheaper than the places in the phone book who use gear from Guitar Center.
I produce albums. I do not "record CD's".
If you do not know the difference, you may be better off going to a local guy who charges $25/hr in his garage with ProTools LE.
If you would like to talk about your next album, email me here or visit www.jasonrubal.com.
