Hello,

I am John D. Costello.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, I graduated from Temple University with a B.A. in Media Studies and Production in 2013. Aside from schooling, I’ve developed skills for recording and mixing audio through an internships Tweek Studios and personal projects in my free time. During college, I worked at Eventions Productions as an audio engineer and event manager, learning how to delegate tasks to a crews of 2-15. Working here I was mixing audio for various speakers and bands in venues ranging from big corporate galas to high school fundraisers around the Philadelphia area before relocating to LA in 2014 to pursue a career in audio engineering.  So I’m here to see what an east coaster can do on the other side.

Since moving to LA  I have done podcast work for The Human Kind Podcast and Ear Bud Theater.  I’ve also working with the bands Maffa Rico and Easy Tiger.  See my portfolio tab for more info and links on these projects.

I’ve also spent over 4 years as a Runner and Assistant Engineer at Henson Recording Studios. Here I worked with some top 40 artists and learned from some of the best engineers in the industry.  You can view my credits at John Costello on All Music
