Jesse Gander
Jesse started recording bands on his 4-track cassette recorder in 1994. Since then he has recorded over 700 bands from all over the world. He has travelled to make records in Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and all over the U.S.A. and Canada. He is also a keen mixing engineer with regular customers all over the world.
