A: My promise is that you'll get maximum effort for every job. I promise a turn around time that is more than reasonable for the job given.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love the fact that I can be creative and that my customers usually give me room to be as creative as I possibly can. I don't feel constricted.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Usually customers ask about splits and what my turn around time is like.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The biggest misconception is that it is easy work and that it happens overnight.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask what it is that their looking for. What is the overall vibe? What artist inspired the track. What songs (if any) can I use as a reference.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Trust your ears. Work with someone open to seeing YOUR vision.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would take my trusty AT2020, my mbox (never let me down), Snowball for mic isolation, Headphones
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been writing songs since 2011. I went to school as Full Sail University for Audio Engineering in 2012. I eventually moved to Los Angeles from New Jersey in 2015. I attended Cre8 Music Academy in West Hollywood in 2017. I now am in-house writer at Westlake Recording Studio
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would describe my style as vibey and fresh yet contemporary at times. It really depends on what the record calls for.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with James Fauntleroy because listening to his demos back in 2009-2011 was what made want to become a writer.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Write what you would want to hear in a song as opposed to what you think other people would want to hear. Listeners and since genuine emotions and authenticity.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on Pop, Urban R&B, and Trap records. I'd say that rap/trap has become heavily melody driven which makes me able to use my strongest skill ever more often than years prior!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Ability to write strong, catchy, and interesting melodies that keeps the listeners invested and never bored
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a very unique tone first and foremost. Starting in music with Rap/hip-hop, I've always been more lyric-oriented. It wasn't until 2014 where I can say melody writing became my strongest skill
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I typically get a track to work on by my clients and after loading it into pro tools, I make sure my key and bpm is set and matching the instrumental. Then I record a series of melodies for each part of the song (Verse, Pre, Hook, etc.). While a lot of people like to work from the hook first, I like to work from the first verse first.
