Meet Our First Professor For Vocal Production Month: Dajaun Martineau

This month at Campus is all about vocal production. We are kicking things off with a professor who lives at the intersection of elite engineering, modern pop sensibilities, and real-world artist development: Dajaun Martineau.

Dajaun is a Gold-certified producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and mixer whose work has touched multiple Juno-nominated projects. He has been profiled in Mix Magazine and Professional Sound, and he is a voting member of the Recording Academy. That pedigree matters for one reason only here at Campus: he knows how to turn raw vocals into records, and he can teach you how to do it.

Why Dajaun

Dajaun built his reputation on both sides of the glass, running high-pressure sessions and shaping vocals for artists across genres. His credit list stretches from Canadian alt and indie to mainstream pop and hip-hop. He has worked with Juno-nominated acts like Moist, Cancer Bats, Kathleen Edwards, and Lydia Ainsworth, and with international names like Ghostface Killah, Nico & Vinz, Yelawolf, and Fefe Dobson. This range is exactly what you want in a vocal production professor because it means he can meet you where your sound lives and take it further.

He also brings modern expertise that creatives are hungry for right now. Dajaun works in immersive formats and has mixed in Dolby Atmos for releases including Kaskade’s “Heaven Knows,” along with recent spatial mixes for Jessia and others. If you are building a catalogue you plan to future-proof for streaming platforms, he understands how to translate stacked harmonies, ad-libs, and textures into mixes that move listeners.

Proof In The Work

Dajaun’s career is a string of collaborative wins. He co-wrote and produced with POESY, contributing to the artist’s post-TV launch momentum and recording the new album material with her. That blend of songwriting insight and engineering chops is exactly what makes him dangerous on vocals.

His engineering and production credits also include emerging and established artists across scenes, from recording with Moist to developing indie projects like Sleepy Jean. He understands both the pressure of major sessions and the resourcefulness required in indie workflows, which is why his teaching lands for artists at any level.

What This Means For You At Campus

October’s Vocal Production Month is designed for tangible outcomes. You will leave Dajaun’s sessions with:

• A repeatable vocal tracking checklist you can use at home or in any studio

• Template starting points for comps, edits, and pitch correction

• Harmony and ad-lib strategies that make choruses lift

• A delivery spec you can hand to mixers, mastering engineers, or distributors without revisions

  
  

You will also have live access to Dajaun for Q&A, so you can get direct feedback on your released or unreleased vocals. That interaction beats passive tutorials because you can apply the advice to your exact mic, room, and DAW setup in real time.

Who This Is For

• Artists tracking at home who want cleaner takes, better comps, and mixes that do not fall apart on streaming.

• Producers and engineers who want to sharpen vocal editing and tuning to pro standards.

• Songwriters and topliners who want to arrange stacks and harmonies that feel intentional and current.

• Indie teams preparing for distribution who need their vocal deliverables label-ready.

The Campus Advantage

Campus is built around live instruction, community, and momentum. You learn from working professionals, apply it immediately, and build relationships with other creatives who are moving like you. Every session is about making progress you can hear. Pair that with in-person opportunities through Beatcave events, and you get the best of both worlds: education and ecosystem.
