My name’s Riley Bohn, I've been making music for just under a decade, and I make and work with a huge blend of genres. 

       I mainly have a background in audio engineering both in the studio and somewhat on stage. I started making beats at 12 and was fascinated by the process, so much so it drove me into that career path early on. I startedat The Mountaintop and met Godxilla in July of 2019 through his page Wisconsin Audio Engineering, and until my departure in early 2024, it was an absolute pleasure and amazing time working for and learning from him. Through him I got to meet a ton of amazing artists, such as Alex Takton, B Justice, Rock Mack, ChiTown Taurus,  Doc B, Afroman, Mila J, Mad Lion, and many more. 

       Through Godxilla, I was also able to meet Daniel Zelonky, the owner of National Recording and a great friend and mentor. I worked there with him from 2021 until my departure in 2024, where I recorded and mixed over 100 artists in his pro vintage studio. I was also given the opportunity to mentor students with a program in partnership with RRFC, helping students gain their footing in working in audio and with DAWs.

       After a few years in Milwaukee, I worked as a Sales Engineer for Sweetwater in Fort Wayne, IN. There I met a multitude of talented musicians & engineers, got to work face to face with vendors, & foster great relationships along the way. After about 2 years I decided it was time to come back home & I'm currently working at National Recording again under new ownership. We're revamping the studio, working on making it a great space for both hip hop recordings & bands respectively.

       Every engineer will have a different meaning for what they call engineering at it's simplest principal. For me, engineering means getting myself and my ego out of the song and asking myself a lot of questions about what's best for the song, what's best for the artist, and what's best for the audience. I mix and break down mixes based off of the feel and genre of the song. A strong set of principals in engineering allows me to be fluid in all genres, and allowing myself to express with the song is the most important thing I could do when it comes to preserving the artistic integrity of the song itself and enhancing it to it's highest capable level.
