Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by top 40s music throughout history and the music that moves people. I am also very inspired by classical and jazz music which are at the core of who I am as a musician and what enables me to create what I am hearing.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I work with artists to achieve their dreams which has meant creating their music from scratch with them and then finding them the right record or publishing deal, landing #1 on the Billboard charts or getting nominated for a Grammy. In other cases, it has meant finding the right tour for them to be a part of, or landing music a sync on their favorite show. There is no one size fits all, it all depends on what the artist is aiming to do.
