Ruff Track Productions is owned and operated by

 Producer John "JT" Thario

Being a accomplished guitarist, songwriter, & founding member of his band "ELECTRIC SANDBOX" Galvan Records (ASCAP)

I have a good idea what it takes to make a simple demo to a commercial release and all the work involved....."I like the challenge" I like it when a plan works itself into studio magic"

 I relate well with musicians and artist!

 "with the struggle to be your best as an artist regardless of where you are in your career."

  I always put the music first delivering mixes with a modern vibe, energy and bite if you want it!  

a little about the man behind the curtain...

JT has shared the stage(s) form Japan to Detroit opening for Lover Boy, Quiet Riot, Pat Travers, Molly Hatchet, Friction, Mocking Bird, Misery, & Dave Hellwig to name a few. 

 He is PRO TOOLS Trained by Future Rhythm & is Waves Mixing certified ......
