Meet the chef
Music first.
Code in service of it.
Dinner Audio was built where a lifetime in the studio met a second craft in software.
Hayes Helsper is a songwriter, producer and software engineer who has spent more than two decades writing and recording music. He has written songs for artists, created instrumentals for film and television, and released music as Man Underground for the past decade. In 2020, Hayes returned to school to study computer science, a path that led to his full-time work as a software engineer at a major tech company. In his free time, he brings those two worlds together through Dinner Audio: focused studio tools made by someone who uses them to make records.
