Born and raised in Western New York, Mitchell has always had a deep appreciation for the performing arts and vibrant community spaces. Now based in New York City, he celebrates the very theater scene that inspired his career.

Mitchell holds a Bachelor of Music in Theory and History from the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam, where he studied piano, voice, conducting, and organ. He was awarded for his work in collaborative piano, chamber music, sight reading, and musicianship. His broad academic experience is complemented by proficiencies in industry-standard music technology platforms including Finale, Dorico, Sibelius, Logic Pro X, Qlab, and Mainstage.

Mitchell’s career has spanned across the country, working at universities, summer stocks, and theater camps. He spent many years at Southern Utah University as their Music Director where he worked on dozens of productions, notably Into the Woods, Legally Blonde, Falsettos, A Year With Frog and Toad, and Mother Courage and Her Children. He was a member of SUU’s vocal coaching staff, alongside his work as a ballet pianist, an incidental composer for straight plays such as The Tempest, and even a recording artist during the beginning of the pandemic. In the two years working at the university overlapped with the pandemic, he recorded over 600 songs for the student body to continue their daily musical progress. 

Now in NYC, Mitchell mixes all his passions and skills. He works as a recording artist, vocal coach, music director, pianist, and conductor at every level from beginner to Broadway. His ability to work at all levels is a boon to the creation process, as he gives performers at every age the best experiences they can access to further their own artistry and humanity.
