Hello potential student. My name is Kevin Ryan a/k/a "Kwiz" and I am a Grammy-accredited touring audio programmer, recording engineer, and music producer with over 20 years of experience in the music industry. In addition to working as Beyonce's Audio Programmer/Recording Engineer for the last 17 years, I've worked with A-list artists like Jay-Z, J-Lo, Chloe Bailey, Action Bronson, Jill Scott, and many others. I've also composed music for HBO, ABC, and ESPN. I love to meet new people and enjoy sharing my knowledge of music production, and music recording/mixing for growing, aspiring, and established producers and mix engineers.

As a studio owner, I've produced, recorded, and mixed projects for major and independent artists. I have extensive music production experience and was formerly signed to a production agreement with Capitol Records as an independent producer. I've designed project studios as well as providing audio gear consultations. I am also a beta tester for MOTU, iZotope, Native Instruments, and Softube – companies that design and sell industry-leading software, and hardware.

The industry is constantly evolving both technically, as well as business-wise. I am a student of the industry and never stop learning; I enjoy the process. I'd like to be able to help you be the best producer, artist, and engineer you can be. With that said, one of the keys to being successful in this industry is diversification. Let me help you diversify your skillset!

Lastly, if you need help mixing your project, I'm available for production and mixing services as well as helping you mix your song virtually!

I look forward to hearing from you.

I also have extensive knowledge on vocal and instrument recording techniques using analog gear. I'm old enough to have recorded and mix using analog and digital tape, and young enough to have mastered the art of digital recording. In essence, I'm old school with a new school mentality!

Excellent Teacher, Professional and Knowledgeable

What I love most about Kwiz is that he accommodates my learning style. I may hop over to another subject and Kevin goes right along with me. Kwiz is professional and knowledgeable with all facets. I am using Logic Pro X for deep house music. We are building my track together. Thank you Kwiz!

Leveled up my mix

Kevin worked with me to fix some issues with my mix and taught me some new tricks that have improved my other mixes as well. He was also really patient with me as we worked through some technical issues at the beginning of the lesson.

Industry veteran

Kwiz is knowledgeable, personable and effective. Great communication prior to and after the lesson. I wanted to focus on specific topics related to music production and he was spot on in addressing them. I left feeling highly motivated and ready to level up. Grateful to have been able to book Kwiz on this platform.

Knowledgeable Music producer

Mr. Kevin has taught me so much in one hour, with my first lesson with him. He was very precise on teaching me about Keeping the right timing, and rhythm, to formulate the right beat. In our first lesson, Mr Kevin had informed me, that me being a drummer, I needed to learn how to make the beat flow, and not put to much into the track to throw off the rhythm of the beat. I had even made my first beat, with the support of mr Kevin. His experience, and knowledge, has overall made me understand the full duty, and responsibility, of a Music producer in assisting the artist to bring the track alive, and also catering to a artist goals, for the song that they create. I am eager to take a second lesson with Mr Kevin. I know with his help, I can make my Music production dreams come true.

Kwiz is the best!

I have grown so much through working with Kwiz. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient. YouTube is great, but working with Kwiz has helped accelerate my growth and understand concepts I couldn’t have done by just googling. He’s also really affirming which builds my confidence as a beginner.

Kristen, it's always a pleasure working with you. I can hear your growth as a producer, and mixer. It's one thing to actually learn different mixing and production techniques, and another to properly apply what you've learned. You do both! Not only are you a great student, but your music is also great as well! Can't wait till you release your art for the world to hear!

Knowledgeable and Creative Tutor

Kevin was very helpful and has a great background in music. He helped me feel comfortable with navigating through Logic and working with mixer settings. He was very encouraging, and gave me some insight into improvisation.

Thank you John! It was a pleasure working with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need more help or insight.

Very passionate and knowledgeable tutor

I've had several songs that I finished arranging, but could not achieve the sound I wanted, so I messaged Kevin to help me with mixing. From the first lesson I found him extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the music industry. Kevin helped me find mistakes in the mixes that needed some work on and gave useful advice to convert decent mixes to great-sounding tracks. Throughout our lessons, he taught me how to improve the depth, width and height of my mixes, bringing my quality to another level. Kevin was also helpful explaining the mechanism of music industry and gave me advice on copyrighting and promoting my music. Highly recommend Kevin to anyone interested in music production!

Aleksandr, it was a pleasure working with you! Your music is amazing, and I see you going far in the music industry if that's the path you choose. Continued success in your productions!

Kwiz leveled up my mixing immediately

Kwiz is the teacher I’ve needed for so long. I’ve spent years of feeling lost in my mixing, always not really sure of what I’m doing or looking for, and Kwiz has helped me find a footing and understand mixing concepts and tools in an accessible yet thorough manner. He helped me learn what my plugins actually do and how to use them, and he was also able to quickly identify things I was doing incorrectly or inefficiently and helped me fix those quickly. His ear is remarkable - Kwiz’s mix critique was very helpful, and he was able to swiftly notice mix issues and explain how to fix them. My only complaint is that I didn’t take lessons with him earlier, as I probably could have had better mixes in the past. Oh well. Can’t recommend Kwiz enough.
