Hi, I’m C.J. Drumeller.

I’m a sound designer, re-recording mixer, composer, and mastering engineer with a passion for immersive storytelling. Over the last two decades, I’ve shaped the sonic worlds of award-winning podcasts, films, and TV series — with specialties in Dolby Atmos, ambisonics, and spatial audio design.

Career Highlights

  • Owner and Operator at Follow Happy Productions LLC — Audio studio dedicated to immersive storytelling and sonic experimentation.
  • Speaker at Podcast Movement 2023 in Denver — sharing insights on spatial audio and immersive mix workflows.
  • Post sound credits on Netflix, AppleTV, Amazon, and Wondery+ — contributing to a wide range of premium narrative and branded content.
  • Collaborations with industry leaders — including Dolby, Pod People, Wondery, ESPN, HGTV, Hallmark and more.

  • Innovator in spatial audio — with ambisonic VR sound design for Hallmark, American Battlefield Trust, and other immersive experiences.

My background in commercial and broadcast audio led to a deep love for experimental and emotional sound work. Today, I explore the edges of sonic storytelling using VR, Binaural, Ambisonics, and Dolby Atmos object-based technologies. Recent fiction podcast credits include the award-winning SOLAR, The Elmwood Strain, Between the Devil, and In Another Room.
