Lucky Cat Mastering is based in Brooklyn NY, specializing in remote audio mastering for clients throughout the world.

The Maneki Neko in our logo reflects our ideology. Believed to bring about good luck, the Lucky Cat has a rich history in Japan that is as timeless as it is mysterious in origin. We embrace the luck and tradition that the Lucky Cat stands for in our quest to achieve the highest possible fidelity in audio. 


Built by the study, apprenticeship, and knowledge of mastering, Lucky Cat Mastering pulls influence from many methodologies and adds its own influence. The incorporation of unique techniques and a one-of-a-kind workflow add's to the tradition of audio mastering with a unique flair only Lucky Cat Mastering can provide. 

My name is Brian and I'm the chief engineer at Lucky Cat Mastering. I graduated with honors from SUNY Fredonia, quickly moving to NYC and never looking back. After interning and assisting at the Bunker Studio, Downtown Music Studios, and apprenticing with Super Fine Audio, I developed essential skills for audio mastering while letting my curiosity for sonic adventure grow as well. I got involved in electronics, obsessing over details and investing as much free time as possible into new and unique pieces unable to be recreated elsewhere.

In addition to Lucky Cat Mastering, I have presented at the Audio Engineering Society Conventions's Custom Gear Show hosted by Audio Builders Workshop, helped lead soldering and audio build tutorials, and have developed resources for budding engineer. 

It's my pleasure to offer my services and experience and work on music that's just as unique as the people that make it. Feel free to reach out at any time, I'm always excited to meet new folks with new ideas!
