Hi! I'm Elijah.
I'm a New York based audio engineer. I decided to take on web design and develop myself in areas outside of audio to round out my skillset. I started audio engineering as an amateur when I set out to make music of my own on a not-super-totally-officially-sourced copy of Logic Pro X. I used to spend hours in high school on my laptop making cruddy beats thinking I was on the express route to WMG. I've grown up a bit since then and learned to refine my goals to adapt to the ebb and flow of my life. In June 2025, I graduated from Laguardia CC with an A.A.S. in audio engineering, fully equipped with professional studio knowledge, DAW skills, an intimate understanding of what artists look for in an engineer, and my own portfolio of work.
After exploring the underground music scene, I’ve come out the other side with original music published, a resume of performed venues, and memories to last a lifetime. But the most rewarding part of it all has been watching a person’s eyes light up as I bring their mixing ideas to life. Given my audio background, I'm no stranger to tedious and painstaking work. In fact, I've fallen in love with that work. I'm in my element when I'm taking on tasks that require an attention to detail that borders on neurotic. This gave me the confidence I needed to switch industries entirely...it gave me the confidence to to be willing to be bad at something before I could be good. Take my animated eye, for example. I have zero affinity for drawing. But I had the audacity to try it anyway! And it may not be perfect, but that's the result of my confidence, a finished product to take pride in not because it's technically accurate but because I tried, I took the first step.
Now, I could go on and on about how my audio work has made me a better learner and more confident in this new field and all those great things. But I use "switch" loosely here. I will never stop engineering. Sound is my whole life. I just don't see the harm in expanding my horizons, filling up my "swiss army knife" if you will. Maybe after this I'll go and get a computer science degree with all this audacity...(just kidding, CS majors are cut from a different cloth.)
