Ghost Bird Studios is a music and design studio established by Mike Lamb and Heike Langhans.
We are based in Dunedin, New Zealand but we work with clients internationally.

Ghost Bird Studios offers a range of services from mixing and mastering to full productions and songwriting collaboration. I founded the studio in 2015 to focus on my own bands, but eventually expanded to take on external projects and now work with bands and artists from around the world.

I cater to a range of styles and budgets, so feel free to get in touch and let me know what you need so we can find a solution together. Please include as much information as you can about your budget, timeline, scope of the project, a link to any streamable externally hosted demos. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I am a South African-born singer, musician, graphic artist and painter. Previously I spent 10 years living in Sweden as a vocalist in Draconian, appearing on 'Sovran' and 'Under a Godless Veil'. I joined Ghost Bird Studios in 2020.

My art style can be described as cosmic art nouveau/art deco with gothic and ethereal influences. Most of my work is centered around the music industry, but I happily work in any field. I'm a big science-fiction and astrophysics lover, so if that's what you're after you've come to the right place! I do custom paintings, merch designs, album art, logos, and tattoo designs.
