Five by Five Media Group offers all professional post-production needs, from music mixdown and mastering, to foley sound stage additions to music, commercials, movies, and broadcast.

Some of the music industry’s more famous and award-winning recording artists, such as Rocko da Don, Shanell Woods from Young Money, all the way to Atlanta’s favorite “down-south producer” Shawty Redd have trusted Seth Firkins and Five by Five Media Group with their sound, other big names include:

Firkins was chosen to be an industry-panelist at the ATL BEAT BATTLE due to his excellent reputation and work-ethic. Curtis McMurray, CEO of Money Tree Entertainment, known to his music fans as Fruit Man, famous for his first single "Man Down" and current smash record "Gangsta Rock", said, "Seth Firkins

work ethic, professional tact,and overall character are a few of the reasons that we continue to do business together - audio Engineering is Seth's forte and I have never heard our music sound better."

Indeed, the winner is a "lucky" one.
