Our experienced engineering team strives to provide you with the best customer experience from your first take to the release of your masters.
KYLE ARIZABAL
Owner
My name is Kyle Arizabal, owner/audio engineer at Prolific Sound Solutions. I grew up in Vallejo, California and I’ve been passionate about music & media for as long as I can remember. I’m an Ex’pression College graduate and founded PSS in 2012 while working as a product engineer for an audio communications company in Oakland. During my time with this employer, I gained invaluable experience with large-scale projects, including The UN headquarters in NY, General Assembly in Geneva, University of Montreal, and the World Bank in Washington DC. These projects had me migrate to the east coast, and while I learned a lot, I found myself missing the studio environment!
I moved back to CA in 2015 and really started grinding my freelance audio engineering career. I met Chris Paxton, owner at Nexus Audio, and he took me under his wings and taught me a lot about how to run a proper studio business!
I’ve been growing Prolific Sound Solutions ever since. I’m excited to see our growth everyday! We pride ourselves in dealing with our clients with integrity and I strongly believe we have a winning formula when it comes to the studio services we provide! Book a session with me, or anyone of our engineers, today! We’ll help you achieve the sound you’re looking for.
KARISHMA KUMAR
Audio Engineer
My name is Karishma Kumar, I'm an audio engineer from the Bay Area. Choosing to be a part of this industry wasn’t hard at all, from my love for Pop and R&B growing up, it felt like the right fit. Some of my inspiration ranges from Tyler, the Creator to TV Girl. No matter the genre, a song is supposed to make you feel something and my goal as an engineer is to have my artists leave with a song that does just that. Create a song that everyone wants on repeat! I dabble in Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock and all the genres in between, let’s get experimental!
REGINALD SHELTON
Audio Engineer
Hi, I’m Reggie. I go by Seed, the Engineer! I’ve known I wanted a music career since I was a young boy. I started out singing and playing instruments and then made the transition to DJ before accidentally deciding to be an engineer. I began volunteering at a small church which ultimately grew into a full-time position at a larger church with a big-budget sound system.
While volunteering, I decided I was going to take the craft more seriously and completed a degree at SAE. Oscillation Studios was my first home with Frequency Exclusive taking me under his wing. I started taking clients at SlapWagon which gave me an opportunity to experiment and define my sound as an engineer.
I secured a position at EMPIRE records, working with some of the biggest names in and outside of the Bay Area. I’m now fortunate enough to maintain all these positions at once with PSS offering the most potential for personal and career growth.
COLLIN PURDUE
Audio Engineer
I'm Collin Purdue, a producer and audio engineer from New Jersey. I moved to the Bay Area in 2013 and started producing music. Along with the creation process, I love the overall atmosphere the music industry brings. The grind, the relationships, and my favorite, the love from people who enjoy something that you’ve created!
Some artists that have inspired me are Mac Miller, J Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Johnny Cash, and Ray Charles. Which has turned into a love for Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Rock along with many other genres. No matter what genre I listen to I can usually find something about it that interests me.
My goal when I’m in the studio is to not only provide a professional level of quality to your project but also a great customer service experience. Building a great relationship with each one of our artists is what allows us to reach that peak creative state. That’s when the magic happens.
