Craig Mitchell is a distinguished recording engineer whose career has spanned more than thirty years and traversed multiple continents. He began his journey in the 1990s while recording for his reggae band in The Bahamas, an experience that laid the groundwork for his enduring commitment to music. In 2003, Craig moved to Canada to pursue a degree in recording engineering, studying under the renowned Canadian producer Jack Richardson, known for his work with The Guess Who and Alice in Chains.

His talent soon attracted attention, leading to collaborations with esteemed film producer Luc Besson on the feature film Arthur and the Invisibles and music production for HBO’s acclaimed series Sex and the City. These significant projects motivated him to establish his own state-of-the-art facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where he recorded talent from Universal Music Group, including Jae Millz and the Young Money team, as well as projects for Floyd Mayweather’s record label, TMT.
