Interview with AmnesiaSound
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That everything I do is not as creative as songwriting and production. It's another piece of the puzzle to bring together your hard work!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: The most common thing that I believe will help you is to ask more questions and share more about your goals and expectations. The more I know about the project the better I can assist.

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The satisfaction of seeing a happy client.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always try to find out what your goals with the song are and how you feel about the whole project.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Never stop being you :)
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Honestly, everything. Sometimes I am mastering hip-hop, other times I'm mixing a rock tune, other times I may be recording strings. Whatever the project needs, I'll do it!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: If you want me to change something I will. I am completely open to experimenting to find what best suits the song.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring on that extra 20% that your song needs for you to finally think that it is finished.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually, I'll either listen to the song a few times or chat with the client about what their goals are with the song and their vision. From there I'll get straight to work and keep on looking at the magic and seeing what I can do to bring your art to the next level
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I'm able to do anything that you need to bring your art to the next level. Any style, and quality of the recording, and any level of experience. Whether it's mixing to bring your tracks together, mastering your killer beat, or even recording a live orchestra, I'll help bring it to the next level!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: As generic as it may seem, Hans Zimmer is an inspiration to me not because of the music and his style but how for every scene he scores he always writes the music that best suits that scene.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I love analog because of how unpredictable it can be. Something about it's imperfectness is very musical to me and adds a beautiful character to the music.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: To always end up with what they are looking for. I don't consider a project finished until the client is 110% happy with what I did.
