Thaesea by James Plotkin album art

James Plotkin

After securing his first recording contract at age 16, James Plotkin spent the ensuing 3+ decades creating music and art that defies description. With literally thousands of technical and creative credits across a vast amount of genres, he continues to push the scope of sound for his own pleasure, as well as for the benefit of fellow musicians, artists, and listeners alike.

These days, Plotkin is well-known as a highly respected engineer and producer, and spends his week mastering and mixing releases for artists of all professional levels. While he has worked on major releases and GRAMMY-winning soundtracks, he still holds the art of DIY close to his heart, and welcomes opportunities to work with obscure artists and “difficult” recordings. It’s all part of the challenge that keeps him devoted to music and sound, and the constant evolution of how it interacts with and influences the human condition.

Detailed technical and creative credits are available via Discogs.com.
