I got my first guitar when I was 9 — a beat-up Stella from my Grandad that barely stayed in tune — and that was pretty much it for me. I was hooked. Spent years learning everything I could on my own, getting deep into recording and production any way I knew how. Eventually, I backed it up with some accredited schooling, but the real education has always been the work itself. Over a decade of being in rooms with talented catz, trusting my ears, and learning something new every single session.

I'm Edmonton through and through. These days, I play rhythm guitar, run monitors, and handle playback engineering for the Robyn Ashley Band — which means I live on both sides of the stage. I know what it feels like to be the artist with headphones on, hoping the mix is right, and I know what it takes behind the board to make sure it is. That perspective shapes everything I do.

Stav Recordings is really just an extension of that — helping catz sound the way they're meant to sound. Whether I'm tracking your next record, putting together a music video, dialing in your monitors for a show, or building out your entire live production — I'm here to serve what you're trying to do. I show up locked in, I keep it honest, and I treat every project like it matters. Because to the catz making it, it does.

I've been lucky enough to work with some seriously talented people in this city and beyond, and I'm always down to connect with creatives who care about their craft.
