Christopher Hooker is a native of Rochester, whose engineering experience is built from both working at many commercial and private studios, including his own business, and formal education in Music Recording Technology, Music Business, and Electronics. Chris' interest in the field dates back to when he recorded his own high school band on reel-to-reel.

What sets Chris apart from other engineers is his attention to detail, efficiency with computer recording software, friendliness and flexibility, and dedication to creating a tangible reflection of your artistic vision. Having been in bands playing saxophone, guitar, bass, keyboards, and dabbling in drums, Chris also has ample background in various instruments to help you get your gear to sound it's best. He has experience recording many different styles, including Classical, Jazz, Funk, Country, Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Punk, Alternative, Beach, R&B, and Rap. While he enjoys working in all styles of music, his favorite sessions are those in which the artists are attempting to achieve a unique character, imparting strong emotions unto the listeners by creating a soundscape that pulls them in and makes them a part of the experience.

Chris is fully capable of all aspects of the recording process, including Tracking, Editing, MIDI Sequencing, Mixing, and Mastering, plus Voiceovers, and Foley Effects for Video... with credentials ranging from locally to internationally recognized CASA Award winning productions to prove it.
