Bio
Majeed “Maj” Fick (@mixermaj) is a Mixing and Mastering Engineer from Toledo, OH. Majeed’s professional Career began as an aspiring engineer in audio school at SAE-Miami where a chance meeting turned into an internship at one of the most respected recording studios in the nation.
It was at the legendary Criteria Studios in North Miami Beach (Layla, Hotel California, Disreli Gears, Rumours, Eat A Peach, I Feel Good, and many more) where he learned coveted audio knowledge as an indirect disciple of Tom Dowd’s legacy. A true world class facility, Criteria is an idyllic place for a young Engineer to be taught by industry veterans about the nuances of sound recording. Jimmy Douglass, Fabian Marasciullo, Marcella Araica, and Demacio “Demo” Castellon are among the Mixing Engineers Maj observed as an assistant at Criteria.
Maj has a true traditional upbringing as an engineer. As he developed his skills, he also spent time on the engineering staff at Lenny Kravitz’s Setai Recording where he worked on sessions for artists like Chris Cornell, Jay Z, Timbaland, Mary J Blige, Juicy J, Drake, and Big Boi. These sessions were a priceless experience for a young professional. Working in many genres provided a very well rounded understanding of the recording process.
Prior to founding Arbor Sound, Maj lead the development and operations of Truphonic Recording, helping establish it as a premier recording facility in the South East. Maj has mixed records for Grammy Winning artists such as Charlton Singleton, Mon Rovia, Dangermuffin, Lee Barbour, IDK, Scott Storch, BRIDGE, Sam Hook, and many more.
Arbor Sound is the sonic culmination of thousands of hours in the studio with some of the brightest talents from around the world.
