"Producer", "Mixer",Mastering"

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started off in a great studio in Glendale California called Frontpage Recorders in 2001. There, I worked with many amazing artists (as either Engineer, Mixer, or Assistant engineer) such as Fergie, Bruce Springsteen, JC Chasez, Crooked I, Bone Thugs, Stevie Wonder etc.. From there I went on vacation in Dubai and saw potential in the city to eventually become a music hub in the world. so I stayed and now have my own production company. That choice has been very beneficial as I've gotten familiar with styles of music that I would not have been exposed to if I stayed in LA. While in Dubai I have worked the best in the region on all styles and international acts like Flo Rida, Akon, Go Play the World Vol 1. Vandalye, and more.
