about

HARA is a songwriter, producer, and engineer currently based in Phoenix. His foundation was shaped within the tight-knit music communities of Southern California, where collaboration, resourcefulness, and artists supporting one another were central to the creative process.

​

His path began as a drummer, moving through the full cycle of writing, recording, and touring — an experience that sharpened his instinct for how a song needs to feel, not just technically, but emotionally. That perspective naturally evolved into writing and producing songs from the ground up. After moving to Chicago in 2016, he began freelancing as an engineer, working across independent and commercial studios.

​

Today, he collaborates with artists — both in person and remotely — to transform raw ideas and demos into fully realized records. From early vision and arrangement to recording, production, and mixing, he brings clarity, depth, and intention to every stage — crafting music that feels honest and distinctly personal.

Recording

The right take changes everything. I create a space where you can feel comfortable, confident, and fully in the moment — so your performance doesn’t just sound good, it feels real.

Music Production

Got a song idea or demo?

Let's turn it into a fully produced track. From writing to arranging to sound design, I build the production with you, step by step.

Mixing

Taking your tracks to the next level by adding depth, punch, and vibe so your song sounds balanced and release-ready. Whether it's indie pop, alt rock, or something in between, your vision stays front and center.

the process

It's all about the tracks you play on repeat; timeless, intentional, and true to your vision.

​

Whether you're building a song from scratch or need your music polished and ready to share, let's bring your ideas to life with care and intention. 

vision

A great record starts with clarity. We begin by getting to know your sound, influences, goals, and the song's core. This is where we align on direction and define what we’re building together.

make

We shape the song from the inside out — refining lyrics, melodies, arrangement, and sonic identity. Whether we’re building from a voice memo or starting fresh, we create a production that supports your story and elevates your artistry.

shine

Once the song is fully realized, I mix it with attention to depth, balance, and impact — making sure it translates across systems and feels cohesive. You’ll receive a polished, release-ready track and stems.

"He's great! He was very professional and has a sharp ear! He immediately knows what spots in the track need touch up and the best way to do it. It allowed me to focus on the music and get things done in a timely manner. Would absolutely work with him again."
