He’s collaborated and worked on albums for a variety of artists including: Tinashe, Lizzo, Adele, Rihanna, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, Adam Lambert, Whethan, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Charlie Puth, Phantogram, and more.

Born in Toronto, Canada, Ike worked at the legendary Larrabee Studios – a mixing centric SSL based studio in North Hollywood, with an industry wide reputation for developing impeccable world-class engineers. Personally selected as one of only two outside hires in the history of the studio for the position, Ike directly assisted nine-time Grammy award winning mixer Manny Marroquin for 3 years.

“The one thing about Larrabee is we’ve always had the greatest engineers here – from David Bianco, to Sylvia Massy. Mick Guzauski was a tech here – it feels like everyone has come through here, from Dave Pensado to the Dexter Simmons’ of this world.” - Manny Marroquin

Ike recalls, “Working at Larrabee for that long, exposed me to thousands of records at the highest level of craftsmanship and musicianship. The skill, attention to detail, pace, and most importantly, passion required to operate at that level challenged me to become better as a mixer, engineer, and musician. The experience was life changing, I use what I learned there every day.”

After leaving Larrabee in 2016, Ike went on to mix Lizzo’s debut release on Nice Life/Atlantic, Coconut Oil, executive produced by Nice Life founder Ricky Reed during his residency at S.K.A.M. Studios – working on the title track along with the majority of the album including the singles Phone & Good As Hell.

During the next few years at S.K.A.M. Studios, he engineered for DJ Felli Fel, while continuing to mix & record music for Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, Whethan, DRAM, Imad Royal & Post Malone.

Afterwards, he mixed & contributed as a songwriter for multiple feature films for Paramount Pictures’ music department, and began working with Grammy award winning producer & engineer Chris Testa for the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), MTV, & Facebook’s content collaborations with Buzzfeed.

In 2018, Ike became the engineer/vocal producer for Emmy Nominated & Multi Platinum recording artist Tinashe. He recorded & mixed her fourth studio album “Songs for You” between 2018-19, which became the first independently released #1 album on iTunes in the US since Frank Ocean’s “Blonde” in 2016.

At the 63rd Grammy Awards, 'BUBBA' by KAYTRANADA won a Grammy for 'Best Dance/Electronic Album'.

Ike currently resides and mixes in Hollywood, CA.
