Lukaz Wheaton

I'm Lukaz Wheaton, a Minnesota-based audio engineer and producer who's spent years in the studio helping artists turn ideas into finished songs. My background started in events and media production, but recording, producing, and mixing music has become the core of what I do, and where I've built my deepest expertise.

I've worked with a wide range of artists, from local Minnesota songwriters and bands to independent acts and commercial projects both here and internationally, along with brand work for companies like Mattel, Netflix, and Sony. Whether it's a first-time artist cutting their debut single or a commercial job with tight specs and a deadline, my job is to bridge the gap between what's in an artist's head and what comes out of the speakers: clean signal chains, thoughtful mix decisions, tracking that captures a performance right the first time.

What I bring to a project isn't just technical skill, it's collaboration. I like being in the room, working through ideas with people, and staying adaptable when a session takes an unexpected turn. Whether I'm tracking vocals, building a mix from scratch, or troubleshooting a problem nobody saw coming, I'm focused on one thing: getting the music to sound like the best possible version of itself.

If you're looking for someone who understands both the gear and the process, and who genuinely loves doing this work, let's talk.
