Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I like to find out from my prospective clients what the concept of the project is. I like to know the origins of the project. My goal is to do my best at getting emotionally attached to the project as much as my client is, so I can deliver very touching lyrics. I also want to find out if the client has an idea of the melody and tempo they prefer for the song. If there is a beat they already have in mind, and if so, I would want to have the beat available while I am writing the song.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: I would advise them to ask questions and determine if they think the provider will be easy to work with and open to following strict directions if that is the project, but also have the ability to create something creative for the client if their project scope is loose.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I typically get my concept from my client. After my client gives me their concept and type of melody they prefer I will start to develop different ideas for them.
