Interview with Profile User 124856

Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! The heat and saturation of analog mixed with the ease of digital.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been doing this professionally for 8 years. I've been doing it at home since I was 4 years old playing with cassette decks.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Artist oriented.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All kinds! I am a musical omnivore. Who wants to be limited by genre?
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is probably understanding the emotional portent of a song and figuring out how to deliver that with maximum impact. Also, arranging harmonies.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: At this point I'm lucky enough to be able to bring my strong musical ear AND a large amount of technical goodies, which as I see it is the best of both worlds.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process is invariably carefully tailored to the client. We begin with a conversation about influences, inspirations and goals, and I tailor a totally individualized session plan to each person.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It's a fully fledged professional facility with a spacious and awesome sounding live room and a large amount of great instruments, microphones and outboard gear.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Majorly influenced by the sonic wizardry of groundbreaking geniuses like Lee "Scratch" Perry, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Everything from arrangement to mastering, but most commonly I produce, engineer and mix.
