Heavytones Audio

Overwhelmed with satisfaction that I have achieved my dream, proudly hung over the mixing board at Heavytones Audio. Never would I picture my name at the top of a major corporation dedicated to the one thing I hoped to one day be a part of. Audio production. My name is John Downey, CEO at Heavytones Audio. Heavytones Audio is a very successful recording company that I have established, and has produced a few of the most leading edge artist in the metal music industry today.
My whole life I have always had an astonishing passion for anything that was related with music. This is the foundation of who I am today. At the age of fourteen I started playing guitar in bands throughout high school and developed an urge to compose and dig myself into the recording process at the side of whoever was producing our demos at the time. I became more and more obsessed with the time and effort it took to devote yourself wholeheartedly into cutting and editing the music that I’d help create. I was so obsessed with composing melodies and indulging myself into majestic euphony I ended up straying away from functioning academically and ended up dropping out of high school at the age of seventeen. Soon enough later my band broke up. I played in a couple of other bands but after watching my friends all graduate I felt so left out that I never found my nitch to succeed.
Then out of nowhere like an answer from the heavens my best friend introduced me to the idea of attending the Art Institute. It was the chance of a life time to finally pull my mind together and succeed. I passed my high school equivalency test, wrote an acceptance essay, and was then on my way to college. It all happened so fast, I think it took about a week to adjust to the surreal feeling. I had never felt so relieved in my life. Almost cinematicly I'm taken back to the steps of the Art Institute. Its orientation and all I can think of is where I'll be after the short three years here. Invoking the best in me I took on the three years and achieved my bachelor’s degree in the physics of sound and audio production.
I was fortunate enough to be able to use my talent to record a local act called BLOW-OUT I ran into at a “hole in the wall” bar down the street from my studio apartment on Center St. I knew there was something new and fresh these guy’s were trying to do and I wanted to be the creative mastermind behind them. Not long after introducing myself they agreed to linking up and recording with me in my fairly spacious apartment. It took four months of ripping apart and putting back together material to finally create the full length CD that not only changed the reputation of metal music and also make me recognized as a master in my filed. Over the night my home studio turned into a franchise. THE VULGAR DISTRESS SOUND released in October of 2020 and sold more than 1,000,000 copies and made BLOW-OUT one of the most idolized and influential band’s in the metal music industry today. I planed relentless tours for the band and in return they demolished arenas all over the world. I still am recording band’s and I will do that for the rest of my life. I live in the studio and breath off of sound. I have fulfilled my destiny and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
