Marc McClusky –

Multi-Platinum Music Producer & Mixer

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


I’m Marc McClusky — a multi-platinum producer, mixer, and composer specializing in indie, punk, alternative, emo, and guitar-driven music.

I’ve worked with artists like Weezer, Everclear, Motion City Soundtrack, Bad Religion, Ludo, William Beckett, Grandson, and Games We Play, with projects earning Gold and Platinum records, Top 10 Billboard placements, and a #1 iTunes Rock album.

I believe the thing that makes a record matter isn’t technology — it’s people. The sound, the chemistry, the imperfections, the choices. That’s what gives a song identity.

I don’t use cookie-cutter templates, recycled ideas, or AI shortcuts. I work collaboratively with artists to build records from the ground up — honest, dynamic, human records that feel alive and hit hard.

If you make indie, punk, alt, emo, or cinematic music and want something with real personality, let’s make a record that couldn’t exist without you.
