Chad Alan McKinsey is a drummer and producer based in Los Angeles, California. The love for music started in his 5th grade elementary band, furthered with a degree in percussion performance, and eventually landed him in studios in Los Angeles. With a passionate love for all things music, he has become immersed in a life of drumming, composing, and producing. 

Through his studies and travels, he has learned to be a consummate professional and make sure that whoever he is working with is comfortable and a satisfied customer. Chad has taught himself guitar and piano as a means to become a better writer and composer, as well as maintain his vocal cords to lend support to any band or project that might need it. 

Chad is available for hire for record production/engineering/mixing and any educational opportunities. He also maintains an open-door policy when it comes to studio gigs, either remote or in person, and opportunities to play around Los Angeles or on the road.
