Introduction
Welcome to my website! My name is Juha Matti Varvikko, or Juhis for short, and I’m a recording and mixing engineer and music producer based in Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki. My background is in indie rock and folk, but I’ve worked on all kinds of musical styles ranging from classical music and movie soundtracks to electronic music and heavy metal. I studied Music Technology at the Pop & Jazz Conservatory under Mikko Murtoniemi and Tommi Vainikainen and, during my studies, interned at Studio Kekkonen and Sonic Pump Studios, working as an assistant engineer for Mikko Raita, Julius Mauranen and Nino Laurenne. I also have plenty of experience in recording and mixing in the immersive Dolby Atmos format. Get in touch, let’s make your music sound great!
