You pour your heart and soul into writing and performing your songs; each one a unique piece of your musical story. I work with independent artists to bring their stories to life.
Bring your musical visions to life. I help you turn your demo songs into full productions. I add elements to your songs, and arrange additional players based on the needs of your music. The sound in your head has finally come to life.
I mix music with the end goal of emotional impact and artist's intent at top of mind. I seek depth and clarity when I mix to ensure that the nuances of your music are heard. Great mixes are what translate great songs to your audience.
I engineer recording sessions at various studios in the San Diego area. Great tracking is the first step in recording songs that will translate to your audience. Fall in love with your songs all over again.

Growing up playing in bands I loved writing songs, but could never get the sound I was hearing in my head when recording. After being exposed to studios and audio engineering, I fell in love. I strive to make your music sound incredible.
I love working with independent artists to help their songs to sound clear and articulate while maximizing the emotional intent of the song. My goal is to work with you to make each element of your music come through to your audience.

What My Clients Say
A few words from artists I have been fortunate to work with.
Ryan Luz
"Ben was an incredibly thoughtful and caring collaborator, and he worked passionately to make my album one that I'm incredibly proud of. TulaRoo would not exist without Ben's encouragement and support, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I am now making more music for a new album, and I will be again turning to Ben to produce it. He's truly a joy to work with and I am so grateful for all that he has done for me and my music!"

Marcia Forman
"Ben Krueger was very thorough and worked diligently until everyone was satisfied with the take. We love the sound of the album, and a write up in San Diego Troubadour Magazine mentioned how well our CD was engineered."

"Ben understood my vision for this project and figured out what my song needed that only he could add. He's become a co-creator when I needed that, and he's exceptionally easy to work with. He is genuinely interested in helping me share my vision, he is responsive to feedback, and he shapes the music so that I can effectively communicate with my audience."
