I'm Brendan, an audio engineer in Toronto. For the last three years I led audio at Ballen Studios on The MrBallen Podcast, Wartime Stories, Bedtime Stories, and Nexpo — 500+ episodes, 8M+ monthly downloads, a Golden Globe nomination, and multiple Webbys.
Before that I produced, tracked, and mixed for Disney Channel, Warner Records, and Universal Music — work spanning artist development, single and album production, and creative direction across multiple charting releases.
I graduated at the top of my class from Metalworks Institute and have spent the last decade-plus chasing one thing: cinematic, emotionally precise audio that pulls listeners deeper into the story. Now I'm taking on a small number of independent narrative shows that want that same level of craft.
