Mike Risha

// Mastering Engineer
// Producer

A DJ spinning hip-hop and dance music since his youth, Mike Risha has been a lifelong student of the sound engineering trade. Mike followed his passion for music to Hollywood and educated himself at the Los Angeles Recording Workshop. After an internship at Moonshine Records, the next leg of his education was spent as an assistant to DJ Dan. The artist recognized Mike’s skills quickly and gave him a position as his record label’s (InStereo Recordings) mastering engineer. Quickly rising to the opportunity to be a producer, there he built full-length albums for Nadine Risha and Jake Walden, and an EP for Rachel McGoye. Now at Engine Room Studios, Mike’s ever-expanding skill-level and the roster of studio musicians he’s built as a producer continue to be an asset.
