Meet the Business Owner

Joe R.

Business Owner

I have nearly twenty years professional experience as an audio producer and engineer. I’ve recorded and mixed hundreds of albums and thousands of songs. I created SARA because I have been lucky enough to do what I love successfully and want to help others do the same. I wish this opportunity had existed when I started my journey, its an honor to be able to provide this to you now.

My journey began as a young musician in the 80′s punk scene. By 1990, I formed The Meices (San Francisco) and then, Alien Crime Syndicate (Seattle) — two great bands which I was the primary guitarist and songwriter. I’ve had three major label recording contracts (London, Warner Bros. and V2) and my music has aired in over 1,000 film and television broadcasts internationally. I’ve also received a Gold Record for my contribution to the soundtrack and film Empire Records.
