need better mixing and feel I could use an industry producer instead of co-producing with my audio engineer

Independent artist (singer/songwriter/bassist) with a debut single releasing June 5th with 2 more to follow in 2026 in the retro soul genre. Been pleasantly surprised by getting international Spotify playlist placements already, artist spotlight on Breaking Sound Radio, blog coverage on Obscure Sound and others, and a nomination in R&B for the NM Music Awards. Still, I know I need better mixing and feel I could use an industry producer instead of co-producing with my aud ... io engineer. My goal with these three songs, as a first start, was to make something true to my sound that would also help me connect with the right producer/musicians going forward for future music. I'm a classically trained singer with a lot of jazz influence, and mostly self-taught on the bass. My composing leans toward soul/funk and I love the warmth of analog, old-school production with live instruments, and a raw quality on the vocals. I'm often having to ask for effects on Vox to be taken away. As this is a future dream to find an industry producer to work with, I'm going to list my budget as very high because I'm curious about who's out there/on here.

Notes on songs (if it lets me upload more than one):
"Same Stars"--the June 5th release
"Wrong Side of Texas"--not mixed/mastered yet. Has finished lead Vox and waiting on hired BGV's
"Rearview Rainbow"--not mixed/mastered and vocal is scratch track.
