Hello potential student. My name is Kevin Ryan a/k/a "Kwiz" and I am a Grammy-accredited touring audio programmer, recording engineer, and music producer with over 25 years of experience in the music industry. In addition to working as Beyonce's Audio Programmer/Recording Engineer for the last 18 years, I've worked with A-list artists like Jay-Z, J-Lo, Chloe Bailey, Action Bronson, Jill Scott, and many others. I've also composed music for HBO, ABC, and ESPN. I love to meet new people and enjoy sharing my knowledge of music production, and music recording/mixing for growing, aspiring, and established producers and mix engineers.

As a studio owner, I've produced, recorded, and mixed projects for major and independent artists. I have extensive music production experience and was formerly signed to a production agreement with Capitol Records as an independent producer. I've designed project studios as well as providing audio gear consultations. I am also a beta tester for MOTU, iZotope, Native Instruments, and Softube – companies that design and sell industry-leading software, and hardware.

The industry is constantly evolving both technically, as well as business-wise. I am a student of the industry and never stop learning; I enjoy the process. I'd like to be able to help you be the best producer, artist, and engineer you can be. With that said, one of the keys to being successful in this industry is diversification. Let me help you diversify your skillset!

Lastly, if you need help mixing your project, I'm available for production and mixing services as well as helping you mix your song virtually!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Music Production

I am a Grammy-accredited touring audio programmer, recording engineer, and music producer with over 20 years of experience in the music industry. In addition to working as Beyonce's Audio Programmer/Recording Engineer for the last 16 years, I've worked with A-list artists like Jay-Z, J-Lo, Chloe Bailey, Action Bronson, Jill Scott, and many others. I've also composed music for HBO, ABC, and ESPN. I have extensive knowledge of the latest plugins for DAW's like Digital Performer, Logic, and Protools. I also have extensive knowledge on vocal and instrument recording techniques using analog gear. I'm old enough to have recorded and mix using analog and digital tape, and young enough to have mastered the art of digital recording. In essence, I'm old school with a new school mentality! I love to meet new people and enjoy sharing my knowledge of music production, and music recording/mixing for growing, aspiring, and established producers and mix engineers.

Kwiz here’s differently than anyone I’ve ever met before and knows how to speak the music language into a simple way of communicating. I learned so much from him in just two lessons.

Kevin worked with me to fix some issues with my mix and taught me some new tricks that have improved my other mixes as well. He was also really patient with me as we worked through some technical issues at the beginning of the lesson.

What I love most about Kwiz is that he accommodates my learning style. I may hop over to another subject and Kevin goes right along with me. Kwiz is professional and knowledgeable with all facets. I am using Logic Pro X for deep house music. We are building my track together. Thank you Kwiz!
