I’m Nicky Howard - a 13x Platinum mastering engineer with over 20 years of experience specialising in the final stages of dance, electronic and pop music.

I help artists, producers, and labels finish music and release it with confidence, delivering masters focused on impact, translation, depth, and real-world playback for club and streaming.

Every project is handled personally with direct communication, a clear process, precise revisions where needed, and carefully QC’d, release-ready deliverables.

If you’re looking for an experienced engineer who understands how finished records need to compete in the real world, send me a message and let's work together!
