Based in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, Mockingbird Music Studios specialises in producing, recording, and mixing singer/songwriters, folk, electronic, trip-hop, World, and acoustic rock soloists and duos, at affordable prices.

We mix everything “in the box” (digitally, on a laptop), reproducing the modern sound that you need to stand out. Have an idea for a song? We can help guide you through the arrangement and instrumentation while providing lyrical and composition feedback. We also provide a range of additional in-house and outsourced instrumentation to bring your idea to life.

Chief audio engineer and founder of Mockingbird, Melissa Cox, is a member of the Produce Like a Pro Academy, led by esteemed audio engineer Warren Huart (Aerosmith, Howie Day, Better than Ezra). She co-produced her own albums alongside Marc Moss of Target Studios, who engineered David Bromberg’s 2007 GRAMMY-nominated album Try Me One More Time.
