Like many musicians, Zutell started recording songs in his bedroom in high school. But his first break came during his tenure at College of Charleston, wherein he landed an internship and eventual recording projects with Mark Bryan, notable for his work as the lead guitarist in the Grammy award-winning band, Hootie and the Blowfish.
Growing his business organically and developing a strong local network, Zutell’s body of work now includes nearly every notable act in the Charleston area, and has bolstered bands like Susto and Atlas Road Crew as they transition beyond local and into mainstream success.
In all, projects produced by Zutell have received millions of combined streams on Spotify, and landed him on the cover of the Charleston City Paper. His engineering work is consistently credited with turning local rock club, The Royal American, into a much sought after destination for touring acts from around the country. Making him one of the city’s most notable cultural figures and influencers.

MOUTH SOUNDS
DEBUT SINGLE "IN THE NIGHT" PREMIERES TUESDAY, JANUARY 31ST VIA THE HUFFINGTON POST
Our partnership with Mouth Sounds is a special and exciting one. Mouth Sounds is the new brain child of Daniel Howie, former front-man of Charlotte, NC’s revered alternative rock band Sugar Glyder.
While Mouth Sounds instrumentation finds its foothold in electronic elements, Howie’s cutting vocals soar free and clear from vocal processing typical of the genre. Fans of Sugar Glyder can breathe easy knowing that the familiar tone carries consistently across the 7 song EP.
"In The Night", the first single from Mouth Sounds, transitions effortlessly into indie-pop territory on the project's debut release Sing or Swim, avaIlable February 28th.
Where other rock-to-pop transitions feel like complacent appeals to relevancy, Howie is still digging, exploring, and ultimately, still having fun. This is pop music for people who don't like pop music.
