About

Hi, my name is Jay Maike. I offer personalized coaching in music production (recording, mixing, mastering) and also songwriting. As a performer and former college instructor, I'm passionate about helping students realize their musical ideas. My favorite way to teach students is in the context of your own creative work because that's how you retain information.

I've spent the last 5 years as a Professor at Colorado College teaching audio production, songwriting, theory and more. Over the years, I've helped hundreds of students bring their music ideas to life, regardless of experience. On top of that, I have 10+ years experience in the industry between studio work and live sound engineering. I teach all DAW's but specialize in Ableton Live.

When I'm not teaching, I'm writing songs and playing shows with my band Deth Rali. Because of that, I also know a thing or two about marketing yourself as an artist, building your brand, and developing a music career if that's your goal.

What we can do together:

- Music Production (Ableton Live)

- Songwriting & Sound Design

- Artist Marketing & Branding

- Content Creation for Social Media

- Create a Finished Song Together!

All ages and skill levels welcome!

    Jay was my digital music production teacher at Colorado College four years ago. His teachings had a profound impact on how I create music - from the inception of a song down to the final touches of a mix. Additionally, his knowledge and love for live music is evident through his project Deth Rali, which brings unique and captivating elements to live music. Hes got a proclivity towards the strange, jaw-dropping elements of performance; you can expect elaborate and clever approaches to everything he does. Over the years that I have known Jay, its clear that he is invested in uplifting other artists and musicians. He truly cares about the artistic visions of other artists, and is sure to help bring your most imaginative visions to life.

    If youre anything like me, you get frustrated and stuck trying to learn everything you want to learn off of YouTube and other tutorials alone. Finding the right teacher who can answer questions in real time can also feel somewhat challenging. Thats where Jay comes in! Not only is Jay a phenomenal artist, but he is a phenomenal teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable, clear, and patient. After even just one lesson, one can expect to walk away feeling revitalized and inspired to continue forward with their music and ideas. I cannot stress enough how worth it signing up for lessons will feel!!! 10 out of 10 stars

    I worked with Jay while I was a student at Colorado College and he helped bring much needed young energy to the music faculty. The best part about learning about music and production from him was the fact that he actually makes his own music and is experienced in the things he teaches. He has detailed knowledge of engineering, production, Ableton, and synthesis.

    Jay pretty much taught me how to produce and mix music. He inspired me creatively and taught me ways to make my production more interesting. He also taught me lots of technical mixing skills. I feel much more confident as an engineer and producer because of our work together.
