Starward Productions exists to help live events and churches sound clear, consistent, and confident—every time the doors open.

Reaching beyond…

Whether you’re fighting feedback, struggling with speech intelligibility, chasing a better live stream mix, or trying to train volunteers into a reliable team, I bring practical solutions that work in the real world—not just on paper. I’m a professional audio engineer specializing in live sound for corporate events, churches, conferences, and conventions, with a deep love for recording and mixing music in a way that serves vision and ministry.

My approach is simple: great audio is equal parts people, process, and gear. I help teams improve front-of-house and monitors, strengthen broadcast/stream workflows, establish repeatable systems, and train volunteers and staff so excellence is sustainable. From troubleshooting and optimization to system design support and installation, the goal is always the same: reliable audio that serves the message.

I have served in touring ministry as Director of Audio with CIY, and I’m trusted in high-pressure environments—including touring productions and events featuring nationally recognized artists, VIPs, and public figures—where professionalism, discretion, calm execution, and clear communication matter. If you want a partner who cares about excellence, protects your mission, and makes your team better, Starward Productions is ready to help.

“As a Technical Producer, I highly recommend Jonathan Hatch for any audio engineering role. Having worked closely with him in the trenches of high-stakes corporate productions, he is hands-down one of the most reliable professionals I’ve partnered with.

Jonathan’s attention to detail is amazing. He seamlessly manages ever-growing lists of complex live cues—from walk-in tracks to rapid-fire VOGs—without missing a beat. But what truly sets him apart is his demeanor. When inevitable last-minute changes often create high-stress moments, Jonathan never gets heated. He remains completely focused, acting as the stabilizing anchor for the entire crew.

His rock-solid presence has saved my sanity on show site quite a few times. Any production team would be absolutely lucky to have him behind the console.”

“Working with Jonathan was a fantastic experience—he was incredibly knowledgeable and patiently answered every single one of my questions without ever making me feel rushed.

He was so easy to collaborate with and went above and beyond to coordinate with my sound guys, offering practical advice that noticeably improved the overall audio quality on our stream.

I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful professional who truly elevates the production!”

Amy Smith – Worship Leader, Pin Oaks Christian Fellowship

“Jonathan has always taken special care of his mix. He wants high quality and excellence.

I have often noticed that his mix is very clean. He works hard to achieve that. Jonathan will make sure every detail in the mix is right and knows that a lot of that work happens as the source.

He will build relationships with musicians to achieve the best outcome together. I would work with Jonathan again.”
