Hey, I’m Ricky Brandon Altamirano — producer, mixer, mastering engineer, and the founder of Bolt Records. With over seven years of experience producing, mixing, and mastering. I’ve helped artists bring their music to life with clarity, punch, and authenticity.

I got my start as an artist myself, releasing solo music and performing in a band called Flight Deck, which gave me firsthand insight into the creative process. But a major turning point in my journey was being mentored by Adam Watts — a respected figure in the industry whose work shaped some of the biggest names in music. Under his guidance, I learned not just the technical side of production, but the deeper art of artist development — helping musicians (such as myself) grow into their sound, their vision, and their identity.

That’s what Bolt Records is all about: not just making music sound good, but making it sound like you. Whether you need a full production partner, a mixing and mastering engineer, or someone to help shape your sound as an artist, I’m here to collaborate, challenge, and support your creative journey.

Let’s make something real.
