James Meder
Hello! My name is James Meder. I am a songwriter and record producer. I am the lead engineer/owner of Pique Recording, located in East Los Angeles. I specialize in a wide variety of musical styles and encourage diversification through the appreciation of inclusive living. I enjoy reviewing audio equipment and helping others learn about the creative (and fun!) side of record making. Please join me in my journey in the discovery of new sounds! Enjoy my videos and please feel free to say hello!
Other interests include vinyl collecting, live music, coffee, movies, poetry, photography, analog paper cut collaging and being the best human I can be.
