Bio

Jacob "Jake" Velazquez started playing at three years old and never really stopped, now working across guitar, piano, drums, saxophone, cello, bass, harmonica, ukulele, and keytar. He runs his own studio in South Florida as producer and engineer, and built a national audience the hard way: a run on America's Got Talent, stages on The View, The Steve Harvey Show, CNN, and Good Morning America, and shared bills with Harry Connick Jr. at Hard Rock Live, Sunscreen Film Festival, and Converse HQ.

He's Music Director and a board member of the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, leading the STARS of the Spectrum performance band, a cause close to home as an autism advocate himself. Faith-guided, in the tradition of Colossians 3:23: work like it's for the Lord.

Common questions

What do I send you?

For a mix or master, send your stems or your final bounce as WAV files, 24-bit, at whatever sample rate you tracked at. For production work, send whatever you have: a voice memo, a rough demo, a chord chart, or just the idea. Jake has started tracks from all of those.

How do I get files to you?

Anything works: Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or the upload page you get right after paying. If a session is too big for one link, just send it in parts.

How long will it take?

Turnaround is listed on each service above and confirmed in writing before work begins. Mastering runs a few days, mixing a week or so, and full production a few weeks depending on the arrangement. If you have a hard deadline, say so up front and Jake will tell you honestly whether it is doable.

Do I get revisions?

Yes. Mixes and masters include revision rounds so the result actually lands where you want it. Most projects settle in one or two passes. Jake would rather get it right than get it done.

What do I get back?

Final WAV files, plus MP3s for sharing, and streaming-ready masters. If you need a specific format, alternate versions, instrumentals, or stems for live playback, just ask.

Do you work with artists outside South Florida?

Most of the work is remote and always has been. Files go back and forth, and it makes no difference where you are.

Can you play on my track?

Yes, that is what remote instrument tracking is. Send the session, Jake records his parts in his own studio, and sends the files back ready to drop in. Guitar, bass, keys, drums, and more.

What if I am not sure what I need?

Use Inquire on any service, or the Custom Quote card, and describe the project in plain language. Jake will tell you what the job actually calls for, even if that turns out to be less than you were about to buy.

Let's build something.
