The goal for the SoundWorks Collection is simple; we are dedicated to profiling the greatest and upcoming sound minds from around the world and highlight their contributions. The SoundWorks Collection was created by Director Michael Coleman in November of 2009 in a partnership with MIX Magazine, several audio focused college schools and programs, and the support of the online sound community worldwide.

The SoundWorks Collection takes you behind the scenes and straight to the dub stage for a look into audio post-production for feature films, video game sound design, and original soundtrack composition. This exclusive and intimate video series focuses on individuals and teams behind-the-scenes bringing to life some of the worlds most exciting projects.

I'm a singer/songwriter/guitarist from Des Moines, Iowa. I play originals as well as covers. I'm currently working on a solo acoustic project and I'm also the guitarist for the Des Moines Hip Hop artist B.WELL. My previous projects include the alternative rock bands Identity and The Shrooks.

Made up of talented musicians from the Pacific NW, Black Dolly is full of soulful jams and smooth grooves. The BD band is a culmination of several years of development and recording. Started by Chris Newbury and his wife Wendy, the band was really formed by a desire for Chris to give Wendy a recording session for their anniversary. Chris utilized the help of his long time friends and musical collaborators Eddie Ramirez(Israel Houghton, Johnny Ramirez), Frazer Wambeke(Frazer Wambeke Group), Luke Basile(Rainmaker Studios), and Ryan Matzinger(Ike Turner) to record the Dianne Reeves cover of Fleetwood Mac's hit "Dreams". The project was enough of a success that Chris decided to formally pursue an official group.

Los Angeles native producer and artist, Benjamin "Hameen" Moore (“Hameen,” a nickname that stuck when a friend translated Benjamin into Spanish during a school field trip) has been making music since he was a baby.  Upon waking hours, his mother would observe him smiling and quietly humming in his crib.  As a preteen, Hameen started music groups with his sister and neighborhood best friends. The “MC Mini Mites”, as they called themselves, began performing for family and neighbors, combining songs Hameen created and dance steps the group developed, purely for the joy they found in music.  His love for music has always been a passion he not only felt in his heart and soul, but heard within himself for as long as he can remember.  His goal in producing these tracks is to provide you with a unique but classic experience.  Hameen has been influenced by a variety of music over the years, from listening to Chaka Khan and the Gap Band with his mom, to New Edition and Prince with his older brother. Thanks to his mother, he grew up spending many nights listening to classical and jazz performances at the Hollywood Bowl.  As a preteen, he changed a family tradition of listening to classical music while preparing for sleep to listening to Sade.  In middle school and high school, he was exposed to Hip Hop, R & B, big band and many other genres of music, thanks to the eclectic melting pot at Westchester High School in Los Angeles.  During his college years at Fisk University in Nashville, he was deejay for Fisk’s local radio station “WFSK 88.1” and co-produced the “Neo Soul Flow Show”, as well as many other Hip Hop and Jazz programs for the station.  He was amazed by the talent of Lionel Hampton when he and his mother witnessed one of his last performances and has also been greatly influenced by Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, and Jimi Hendrix.  The wealth and variety of sounds throughout his life have meshed together in this album to cultivate his current eclectic sound, a sound that will continue to change, evolve, and adapt through the mosaic emotions of life’s inspirational experiences.                                   Enjoy...
