About & Team Bios

Launching in New York City in 2021 after a decade of producing independently and within collaboration, Record Producer Mitchell Walker and Independent Creative Producer Ashley Kate Adams of AKA Studio Productions announced their Independent Record Label, No Reverse Records. Originally meeting in College at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 2005 where they spent that summer in Ashley Kate’s late father’s red Chrysler that would not drive in reverse, only forward. Since then, they have taken that motto to heart and have been producing albums together in NYC since 2011 when Ashley closed with the Broadway Company of La Cage aux Folles. 

As record producers, they collaborate consistently with the GRAMMY Award winning engineers of Zampol Productions, Alex Venguer, Oscar Zambrano, and Daniel Alba. Together, they have worked on over 30 GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY nominated projects, out of which 10 have won GRAMMY Awards. As records producers, No Reverse Records developed, produced, and released LOLO’s landmark rockabilly record, “X”, (#1 on iTunes Blues Chart) and “lauren” (#6 on iTunes Alternative Chart) solidifying a relationship with Grammy Nominated Singer Songwriter Lauren “LOLO” Pritchard (Spring Awakening, HBO’s Those You’ve Known).
