Josh O'Connor

With over a decade of experience teaching music production at the College of Southern Nevada, I’ve helped hundreds of students build confidence, understand their tools, and develop real workflows that lead to finished music.

After thousands of hours of in-person instruction, I’ve learned exactly where beginners get stuck — and how to guide them past those hurdles with simple, step-by-step teaching.

My mission is to help you produce, record, and release your own high-quality music using tools you already have.
