Meet the Producers
Mitchell “ANTONIØUS”
A producer & artist with 50,000+ streams.
This pop/soul artist was first inspired by NSYNC on cassette. He then wrote & played for several metal & rock bands; Mitchell eventually took the leap and became what the industry calls a 100% producer (someone who can write, perform and engineer a song by themselves). At Hot Seat Studios, Mitchell’s is helping new artists create their first demo in just 3 hours, making recording affordable and approachable. He’s also showing studio owners how to grow their recording businesses simply & cost-effectively.
Highlight:
Helping first-time solo artists record in just 3 hours.
Andrew Niemela
A self-proclaimed “Pop Genius”
A former student of the Musicians Institute of Hollywood, Andrew has a gift for channeling clever lyrics and catchy melodies effortlessly. He doesn’t know where the ideas come from but he can pinpoint the inspiration to the song or artist. Andrew has been writing music with Mitchell since high school and now works as a tax account expert for small business.🎵💼.

Frequently Asked Questions
All projects are recorded with Logic Pro. For demos, only vocals, and guitars are audio-recorded. All other instruments are software to help save on time.
We’ve worked with genres like pop, metal, r&b, hip hop, rock, EDM. However, we are open working beyond our comfort zone.
We can work off past projects and even mix or remaster them if you have the audio stems of each track. If you don’t have stems, there are AI tools that may be able to separate them out for you.
We will start with a short consultation to talk about your ideas, review any previous work you have shared with us, and from there schedule our session together. We do take a deposit to start any project. You will pay the remainder upon delivery of the demo.
We can continue working on the song depending on our availability and agreed scope of the project. Depending on how far you want to take this song, we may charge to work on the project per hour, per song, or some other agreement. At our discretion we may waive charges for additional studio time.
We can work with your recording engineer but they must be proficient with Logic Pro, if we do not work in Logic, we cannot mix your project independently beyond the studio session.
You are free to use the demo in any capacity, we may retain producer or songwriting credits of the song depending on our involvement.
