Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Punchy and dark

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: don't stop moving forward

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: All heavy stuff, I specialise in all kinds of heavy metal, rock, core, grind, deep, dark and evil music

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Turning cool ideas into smashing tracks

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring my own idea and experience to the songs. In my opinion one often looses the subjective perspective to get the absolute best out of a song, this may be simple details like struming a chord instead of shredding it. I listen to heavy stuff pretty much my whole (more or less adult) life and have a clear idea of the sound my customers want.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually start recording drums before moving on to guitars. I edit as we go to immediately get the best result. The vocals follow the bass. Once this is done I mix one song for the client and as soon as this one is approved I mix the other songs. I finish my work once everyone is fully satisfied with the sound.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: professional mixing room with guitar/vocal booth

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: European metal is my personal favourite, I collaborate with the famous Kohlekeller Studio

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Full music production or just reamping, pretty much anything to make your tracks slam!
