About me: Most of my friends just call me HOOK. I own and operate Skullsessions Studios out of Houston, TX. I've been engineering since 1996. I love doing this - and my clients realize that once they've worked with me. I deliver huge sounds for bands that are budget concious, and its paying off for the bands and myself.
I'm proud to announce that LoneStar PornStar has once again (3rd year in a row) been awarded the Best Alternative Band title in the much respected Houston Press Music Awards! Skullsessions recorded and produced their first EP-CD in August of 2004, and their full-length CD in 2006. This CD, titled "PROTECTION" is now available nationwide at your online stores or in your neighborhood at Best Buy, Targe, FYE, etc. If you don't see it, ask for it by name. They'll order it for you. We're currently working on their follow up CD due for release in the summer of 2008.

I spend my time engineering, mixing, and mastering music mostly for rock and pop bands in the Houston, TX area - though I've done CD's for bands throughout the midwest. Some of the Houston area bands that I've tracked are Deafening, Feeding James, Walkabout, SoLowHead, Dead Trip, Lonestar Pornstar, Anomaly, Rust Never Sleeps, Sardis, Good Intentions (College Station), Full Service (Austin), Copious, D-Fyant, A Thousand Mile Stare, Truck, Salting Jobe, Saturate, Counterparts, Dine Alone, Rowe, Prognosis, and Cerebro....among others. In fact...the song playing on this page is one of my latest completed projects!

When I'm not doing work for other musicians, I'm writing and recording my own tunes. Currently, I'm rehearsing with my own acoustic-based band - Darwins God.
