Andy Freeman has been involved with music his entire life, from picking up his dad's acoustic guitar at age 11, to owning and operating Mayday Sound Studio in Atlanta, GA from 2003-2007. He was mentored in the recording arts by Matt Goldman (Underoath, Copeland), a childhood friend. Matt taught him the basics of getting great sounds, and how to make sure that the band being recorded leaves with not only a great record, but plenty of great experiences and stories for the folks back home.

Andy works hard, fast, and with good humor, getting the band to sound their best. He believes that a band should sound like the music that it's creating: a metal band needs to sound like they're jumping out of the speakers to burn your house down, and a singer-songwriter should invite you into his or her world. Andy believes that one size does not fit all, and tailors his in-studio approach to each act. As a testament to this approach, he now has satisfied clients and, indeed, friends on both sides of the country.

He lives in San Francisco with his wife and beagle.

Kurt Elzner's former career as guitarist with multi-platinum mid-ninties rock band Mazzy Star led him into the field of music video. He has extensive experience in the field of live video, primarily mixing for large scale festivals throughout the US, as well as touring with acts like Radiohead, The Dandy Warhols, and Sublime. Since relocating to San Francisco a few years ago, he has been immersed in video editing and encoding, mastering all the intricacies and subtleties involved with great-looking video presentation over the Internet.

Jake has been into music since he was 11 years old. He has played guitar and been in several solid bands over the years. As the bass player for 18 Bonez, Jake established his hard rock roots in Southern California. In 2002, he joined the band May Pole and moved to San Francisco. There, he and Daniel Sams opened a community-style home studio, where he worked hard to maintain a relaxed, yet focused recording environment.

Jake's strength is his comfortable yet driven approach to getting sounds and arranging songs. He is intent on making sure artists leave with a both a positive experience and a great recording that they are proud to rock for fans and friends.

Since he was a child, Jeff Kahn has been a musician. He grew up studying classical voice and has even had the privilege of singing on the stage of Carnegie Hall. He plays some guitar, piano, and mandolin, but his passion has been singing. (He’s actually a great singer, but that’s not where his ambition lies…)

Toward the end of his first year in college, Jeff started to concentrate on more than just performance. He found he was interested in what made the music on records sound so real, as if you were in the room with the instrument. After graduating from the audio production program from Butler University, Jeff interned at Prairie Sun in Cotati, CA. Upon completion of the internship, he served as Studio Manager before moving to San Francisco to work with Bay Area Tone.

Jeff has worked in all aspects of the recording industry. He has worked with many genres of music including folk, rock, classical, a cappella, reggae, hip-hop, and R&B.
