Dolby Atmos and Apple Spatial Audio

Dolby Atmos is redefining how we experience music — transforming songs into immersive, three-dimensional soundscapes that move around you with stunning clarity and depth. With Apple leading the charge through its Spatial Audio platform, and Tidal, Amazon Music, and SoundCloud quickly following suit, immersive audio is no longer the future — it’s fast becoming the new standard.

Dajaun Martineau has been working in surround and immersive formats since 2007, mixing in world-class facilities and staying at the forefront of spatial audio innovation. He offers Atmos mixes directly from your stereo stems, or can fully reimagine your track to take full advantage of the creative power of object-based mixing. If you're ready to elevate your music and future-proof your catalog, Dajaun can help bring your songs into the immersive era.

Studio Services

Dajaun Martineau is a producer in every sense of the word. Equally at behind the DAW as he is overseeing the big-picture elements of a project.

With a foundation in classical music combined with computer engineering and years of hands-on experience, Dajaun approaches production as both a creative and executive discipline. Whether he's composing from scratch, shaping beats, arranging sessions, or dialing in a vocal mix, his focus is always on delivering emotionally resonant music that brings the artist’s vision into full focus.

Beyond the music itself, Dajaun has deep experience as an executive producer—managing budgets, timelines, studio bookings, and assembling collaborative teams of writers, session musicians, and beatmakers. His background allows him to act as both the architect and the contractor of a record: building from the ground up while keeping the entire project aligned, on time, and on budget.

Every element of his production process—from melody to arrangement to mix—is handled with intention and care, ensuring that the final product reflects the artist's identity with clarity and impact.
