Highway 9 Productions is owned and operated by Producer / Engineer Sean O'Sullivan (AKA Seano or Crazy - a word you might hear a lot of during your recording session!). Sean has worked within multiple facets of the music industry with well over 15 years up his sleeve. The man is about as passionate about music as it gets, and behind his mixing desk is where he feels most at home. He is a talented guitarist, learning classical guitar as a youngster (starting at 8 yrs of age) before naturally progressing to playing in numerous duo's and bands. Sean has studied and played everything from the Blues to Commercial Pop / Rock ' n' Roll; with Pink Floyd and the Beatles being a huge influence in his quest to becoming a great musician himself.
"Our band had a great experience with Sean. We recorded a double single in a weekend. He really works to get the best out of each musician. We were super impressed with the quality of his studio and how efficient he was with the time we had with him. We were really happy with the result. Highly recommend."

Having done the gig scene for many years (he knows how you feel), his focus now is primarily recording and producing the best sound possible (for you). Sean never tires of his work because he truly loves it, and is always looking to better himself and the studio during the process. His talents are vast and can help with all areas of production, with a knack of knowing what a track needs to make it something special. From simple organic sounds to full electronic production, as well as advice, guidance & direction on songs for those who need or want it.

'Ego is a dirty word' - we're not name-dropping scene stars (although we've worked with some BIG names across a bunch of genres), we're a genuine crew. Coupled with the latest, industry-standard gear, we make sure the only star is you.
There's a lot to love about a session at Highway 9, let's start with the important stuff... like the liquor cabinet:

We were going to call this guarantee the 'Nickelback', but as musicians we wouldn't insult you like that. If you do like Nickelback, pretend we didn't say that :)
