Curtis "Chef C" Shaw

Curtis Shaw is a mixing and recording engineer based in Vancouver and co-founder of Summit Sound Studios. He’s been running the studio for over seven years and has worked with hundreds of artists, contributing to hundreds of released tracks across hip-hop, pop, and R&B.

While mixing is his main focus, he’s also very hands-on during sessions, often helping with vocal coaching, arrangement ideas, and creative direction. His approach is simple: keep the original feeling of the song intact and avoid overproducing. The goal is always to bring out the best version of the artist’s sound.
