John Van Houdt

Starting at the age of 5, John has been all about music. He believes music is what emotions sounds like. After touring in club bands, John helped a friend start a basement studio in 1987 recording albums, demos and jingles. Then after working his way up in various other studios, John and his wife Kathy opened SoundLogicAudio in 1997, where he is Composer and Audio Producer. From Rock & Pop to Orchestral, Blues to Dubstep, Rap to Jazz, John easily works in all genres of music.
