I don't know what's cooler, getting hired to sing for Killian or hiring him to produce 😅 He's been my go-to for production and mixing for a while. Workflow is impeccable - he gives his creative direction and plenty of room for me to be creative as well. The song came out fire!!

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I work with a lot of singers/writers on Sound Better.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog Sounds better but Digital makes the work flow much quicker and easier to get the idea out of your head. I use both.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: 100% satisfaction. I want them to love the work. If i believe in the music i will always try to get it in front of the right people.

A: Producers/writers: Max Martin, Greg Kurstin, The Chainsmokers & Julia Michaels. Artists: I love everything from Pop to Country to EDM to Rock.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process starts with listening to the song or references several times and feeling the vibe. I then come up with a game plan of how I can help bring the song to the next level. I love to add my own taste/vibe to the track while understanding/maintaining the artists vision. It is all about team work!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They ask if their track can be played on the radio or signed by a big label. I say yes sure!! Let me help you to get it to that level
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I make a lot tracks from start to finish... Artists will send me the basic song idea, let me know what they are hoping to achieve and i help them get to the finish line. I also mix and master fully produced/recorded tracks to a "Radio Ready" standard. A lot of times i will also help them get their music in front of publishers/labels and managers through my contacts here in Los Angeles.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That having more instruments and tracks means better sounding songs/mixes. Its all about doing whats best for the song! Less is sometimes more but then again sometimes MORE IS MORE!! It's all about the song!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I like to find out what music they love and what vision they had when they created the song! This is by far the most important thing!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
