Today we are joined for a conversion with Luke Yokoyama. Luke is a mixing and mastering engineer based in Oregon. He started his quest for audio in 2013 after realizing that he had more struggles and obsession over getting the perfect tone out of his guitar rig, rather than focusing on learning how to improve on playing the actual thing. Despite going to school for a music degree, he enjoys doing more tedious tasks to improve the music sonically, rather than musically. Although Luke's specialty in mixing lies more with electronic music, his flexibility, skills and attention to detail allows him to work with variety of different genres. Some artists that Luke has worked with and or currently working with are: Ethereal Delusions, Glitterwolf, Marheem and Tonedeaf. You can find Luke on Instagram @imlyoko and Twitter @lyokoofficial
