Marc McClusky –

Multi-Platinum Music Producer & Mixer

Pop Punk, Rock, Alternative & Cinematic Music That hits the feels.

Hey, I’m Marc McClusky — a multi-platinum producer, mixer, and composer who’s worked with Weezer, Everclear, Motion City Soundtrack, Bad Religion, Ludo, William Beckett, Grandson, Games We Play, and many more. My projects have earned Gold and Platinum records, Top 10 Billboard spots, and a #1 iTunes Rock album — and I bring the same energy and detail to every artist I work with.

I embrace technology, but I believe it’s the people making the sounds that make your record stand out in the crowd. I don’t recycle loops, chase trends, or rely on AI presets. I focus on collaborative production, world-class mixing, and capturing performances that feel alive. Whether it’s an alt, punk, or rock album, or cinematic, story-driven music for film, TV, and sync, my goal is the same — make something that couldn’t exist without you.

No stock sounds. No templates. No AI. Just honest, original music — built from the ground up, with you and for you.
