We had a fantastic day recording with Johnny. He worked with us to bring out the best sound during recording, mixed with great sensitivity and attention to detail, and was patient and good-humoured throughout. The end result is excellent and we're really pleased- thanks so much Johnny!

Johnny and I have worked together on a number of projects for high profile clients such as Starbucks, Dennys and LU. His expert knowledge in recording techniques and equipment have been integral to delivering work to professional standard in a high-pressure section of the industry. He is a wonderful presence in any studio, a quality that makes a huge difference to difficult recording schedules. Whenever I’m recording, Johnny is the first person I’m calling.

I have been working with Johnny for years. He is an incredibly skilled musician and producer! He has great ears and is very patient, fun and easy to work with. I recommend working with Johnny now before he wins a Grammy and is unaffordable.

I'd like to reiterate on behalf of the band how much we enjoyed working with you today. Thank you so much for your time, expertise, and enthusiasm. We really felt like you were there to enhance the band and the song and not just to do a job so we really enjoyed working with you.

- Carlyle Laurent, Fake Dads

Johnny has got to be the most encouraging and pleasant producer I’ve ever worked with, he made the whole experience really enjoyable and the atmosphere in both the studio and the control room really helped get the best out of the band. He navigated all the room based issues of recording a live band with no click track really well, as he’s a great creative problem solver who really know his stuff, sonically and brings out the best recording and sound in the room and in the mixing phase. You really get a certain energy and distinctive warm feel out of a Johnny Keating produced track that I just love. We (the last broadcast) are keen to do much more with him in the future and can’t sing his praises highly enough!

- Sam Wood, The Last Broadcast

Johnny is a wizard. I don’t want to mix my songs with no-one else, ever.

- Iuri Montenegro, Peregrin!

I have had the pleasure of working with Johnny several times in the capacity of both artist with producer, and collaboratively as artist with artist. Johnny is proactive, inventive yet practical, compassionate and patient. He has a natural love for the poetic, is a talented musician, gifted writer and an intuitive producer, going above and beyond, doggedly, to realise a vision. Johnny seeks to understand before bringing the right kind of involvement to a piece and has made my projects much better whenever he has been involved.

- Jake Hawkey, poet and artist (Smoking Waiters)

I have known Johnny since around 2017 and worked with him on music for some of my films. I must say that watching him at work back in his little room at his old house and computer set up I was very inspired to do the same and today I do my own recording and mixing and owe it Johnny for that inspiration. He is very into attention to detail and his recording and mixing talents are nothing short of excellent as are his own song writing skills. The first time I recorded vocals was with Johnny and I felt for the first time at ease, and he brought out by far my best performance at that time.

- M W Daniels, filmmaker and composer

Johnny is a really thoughtful, creative and hard working sound engineer. It’s so encouraging to see him dancing along while the red light is on. We like him so much we asked him to come and live with us for a week to make our second album in Devon. He worked so hard; capturing 10 songs in 2 days in a loft that wasn’t acoustically ideal to say the least. Now that the mixing process is complete we have an album we’re really proud of. It wouldn’t have been possible without Johnny’s dedication and commitment to the project. His work ethic far exceeded what we would normally expect of a producer or engineer.

- Henry Tufton, Life Aquatic Band

Johnny creates a really positive and energetic environment in the studio to really let loose and push the music. He is super specific about mic position and position in the room, always offering new perspectives on the way the sound could be effected by these subtle changes. I always come into the studio with a real mix of ideas and Johnny finds a way to extract them and give direction to the recording! Always full of energy and joy, making for a really encouraging space to create in.

You've gone above and beyond...well pleased! 🙂
