‘Gypsy’ George Mihalopoulos
gm@alwaysalready.com

I have over ten years experience in the Entertainment Industry focusing on Music and Audio Production.  My abilities include music supervising, music editing, composing, performing, and producing.  Additionally, I have experience in sound supervision, audio mixing and recording, as well as music mixing, mastering and engineering.  Currently, I am producing and recording artists in the Brooklyn area. I also organize and participate in various live showcases throughout the United States, including performances with my band, Gypsy George & the Open Road Love Affair.  Working as a performer as well as 'behind-the-scenes' allows me to  keep an artist’s eye on every endeavor, while maintaining a firm technical understanding of how to translate one’s creative vision.
