Professional Audio Production, Mixing and Mastering
From intimate 2-track recordings to full-scale, genre-blending productions, I help shape your ideas into evocative, release-ready music. Based in Amsterdam, I work both in-person across the Netherlands and remotely worldwide.
Creative Audio
Music Production & Artist Coaching
I work closely with artists to bring their visions to life. From concept to final mix, I’m here to critically listen and give accurate and honest feedback. Together we will shape ideas into compelling songs, and I’ll assist with planning, booking session musicians and managing the publishing.
Let’s create music that is true to you.
Mixing & Mastering
From subtle enhancement to creating a signature sound, I mix and master your tracks to sound as great as possible. Communication about your goals and my progress will be easy and clear. With attention to detail, I will bring out your music’s essence so that the message resonates with your listeners.
Mastering is to streaming and radio standards.
Optionally I can assist you with the publishing and promotion process.
Sound & Music for Theatre
In theatre the original music and tailored sound effects play a powerful part in creating the story. I work with the director to ensure perfect timing and integration. From character-driven pieces to atmospheric effects, I make soundscapes that enhance the mood and impact of each scene, bringing your story to life on stage.
Other work
I also take on a range of more specialised projects, such as music and sound for film, animation or online media, the design of custom audio tools and plugins, and room / speaker audio engineering. These projects are handled on a case-by-case basis and tailored to what you need.
How I work
Every project needs a different balance. Some artists want to experiment and try new ideas; others want to move quickly toward a finished track. I work with both approaches.
I’m comfortable switching between open, creative sessions and focused, goal-driven production. Together we decide where the project sits on that spectrum and shape the workflow around it.

About me
I’m John Verbeek, a producer, mixer and musician based in Amsterdam. I work with artists to shape ideas, find the right sound, and turn recordings into finished tracks. I like keeping the process clear and collaborative. Whether it’s a small acoustic piece, a bigger production or sound for film and theatre, my aim is to create a space where people feel comfortable and creative.
I’ve been a musician for about twenty years, and that’s where my interest in sound originally began. Over time it grew into something larger, a mix of curiosity, technical learning and a love for the craft. I studied mechanical engineering, later completed the Music Production & Sound Engineering program at Sound Education Nederland, and I’ve stayed fascinated by everything that connects music, sound, and technology.
For me, making and sharing music is one of life’s greatest joys. I’ve watched many musicians pause after recording, uncertain about releasing their work. What motivates me is helping them bridge that gap so their music can reach the listeners it deserves.
