A Grammy-nominated engineer, producer, and mixer, Jake is the kind of specialist who uses the room as his instrument.  And, as his client list might suggest, with reliability and great skill.  

It was the desire to help others come to life through their craft that first got the Texas native into music as a teenager.  As a guitar player and producer for his friends’ projects, it would also be what got the aspiring talent into producing and mixing music more constructively and with a DIY zeitgeist.  He would pursue this routine through college where he studied recording technology at Texas State University.  

During this time, he got his first taste at running studios under the tutelage of many producers and recording engineers, including Willie Nelson and Neil Young accredited, Bobby Arnold.  In his free time, Jake would end up working live sound, running stages for SXSW that saw bands like Built to Spill, Deerhoof, and Ra Ra Riot amongst others.  

Ambitious and eager to grow his career, Jake moved to Manhattan where he found opportunity working in studios throughout the city.  Within the confines of legendary rooms like NOHO’s the Cutting Room Studios—whose client list includes artists from ASAP Ferg to David Byrne and Lana Del Rey—he would continue to hone his craft.

Now a New York mainstay and fixture in the community, Jake is in residence at Grand Street Recording in Brooklyn.  With a desire to be as close to the music as possible and an array of gear and instruments, the young producer and mixer continues to share his insights and follow his passion of pursuing sounds from the source of a project.  

Working with detail oriented artists and the crème de la crème of session musicians, Jake Lummus is a name credited in releases alongside those of Rick Rubin, Ingrid Michaelson, G.E. Smith, Joss Stone and Gregory Porter.  

The emerging producer’s taste and range are limitless—from punk to folk, urban and jazz, his supportive ears lack discrimination.  And with a body of work similarly wide-ranging, Jake Lummus will continue to become an invaluable contemporary fixture to the recorded music community.
