Meet Mikael Johnston | Visionary Music Producer
Hey everyone - I'm Mikael Johnston, founder of the Warner Bros. industrial electronica act Mephisto Odyssey, and owner of Pop Twist studio. I relocated to the Dallas area after the pandemic and from Pop Twist Studio’s new lakefront oasis just NE of Dallas I am creating magic. Over the span of over 20 years my resume includes 15 Billboard Top 40s, 10 Top 10s, and 4 #1s. I've done mixing, production and remixing for artists like Blondie, Jane’s Addiction, Smash Mouth, The Sounds, Lily Allen, Nadia Ali, Static-X, Hostel (film), Batman Beyond; Return of the Joker (film), Valentine (film), Butcher's Bluff (film) and The Crystal Method. I'm proud of the work I've done and I'm looking forward to bringing my skills and experience to help you shape the future of your music or film audio.
