Meet Chance — the engineer behind every record.

Chance has recorded and mixed some of the most defining voices of the last decade — The Kid Laroi, Don Toliver, Pop Smoke, Lil Tecca, Lil Tjay, Sheck Wes, PnB Rock, King Von, Sheff G, NoCap, Trippie Redd, Scorey, Babyface Ray, Dave East, Toosii, and many more.

He helped shape the sound of NYC Drill and modern Hip-Hop, and the glossy, bright vocal aesthetic that defines today's Los Angeles pop-rap. Two opposite worlds — one engineer who speaks both languages fluently.

He started really focusing on Hip-Hop engineering after attending the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. From there he moved to New York and learned the trade the old-fashioned way — micing up bands, tracking through API, SSL and Neve consoles, surrounded by endless racks of outboard gear — before becoming head engineer at Penthouse Studios in Times Square, the biggest room in the city.

Then came the pivot. He took everything the analog world had taught him and brought it into the modern hip-hop game — fusing the depth, weight and character of vintage hardware with the precision and immediacy of the in-the-box workflow that today's artists actually record on.

Chance has lived and worked in New York City, Atlanta, and still records and mixes records every day in Los Angeles. The edge he brings — engineering, mixing, mastering, and the instinct for what a record actually needs — is what makes Mahogany Studios feel less like a local room and more like a major-label session.
