    #25 - Mitchell Haeuszer

    Mitchell has been a student of music his entire life. Classically trained on piano from an early age, Mitchell has always maintained a keen awareness for the emotional subtleties that only music is truly capable of communicating. It wasn't long before Mitchell picked up guitar and found The Blues, R&B, Funk and Rock, which were the musical styles that cemented his resolve to pursue music with his entire spirit. In his pursuit to understand music as holistically as possible, Mitchell was directed to Berklee College of Music, which he attended for further studies in Music Production, Engineering, Arrangement, and Performance. Mitchell graduated Berklee in 2012, and relocated to Los Angeles, where he began an assistant position at the esteemed Village Recorder. His experience at the Village included opportunities to contribute his expertise to major industry artists, such as Coldplay, Ziggy Marley, Weezer, and Miguel. It was from these invaluable experiences that Mitchell was able to draw a mature understanding of the diverse array of approaches to producing music and art, as well as standards of professionalism that are inherent in the most prestigious environments for music creation. HAUS Music has operated as an independent entity for ten years, and in that time, Mitchell has collaborated with a colorful array of musicians and artists, all with their own unique musicality. Mitchell's insatiable search for growth has guided him to develop a compassionate approach to creating, which inspires him to think critically and respectfully about an artist's true voice and intentions. His primary concern is always to maintain and nurture an artist's emotional and creative integrity; and he has successfully navigated the process with many very different musicians for a multitude of different styles and platforms, @hausmusicproduction

    #23 - Sebastian Ruenert

    sebastian/basti/baz is a person with a bio - a bio that details his pinnacles and most notable contributions in his fields of toil. this bio omits all the efforts that weren’t fully realized (though they are at least alluded to here). most of the time: he plays with and is played by music; he prays with and is prayed by life, he embraces and is embraced by love’s countless forms.

Some notable professors include Pat Pattison(John Mayer, Amy Allen), Kara Dioguardi(Jon Bellion, Ingrid Andress), Swagg Harris(H.E.R, Kehlani), Bonnie Hayes(Bonnie Raitt), and Paula Cole. Whilst living in Boston, she also interned and became assistant engineer at the legendary Q Division Studios. Here she worked with the likes of Dropkick Murphys, Don Was, Yo-yo Ma, and many more.She is currently an AWAL artist based out of NYC, where she is studying for her Masters in Songwriting and Production at BerkleeNYC. She also frequents to LA where she consistently collaborates with creatives like those from Kobalt, Universal, and Warner.
