Interview with Jake Lewis

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'm very proud of a record called What I Wanted by Sarika, a local singer songwriter in the Boston area who began working with me last year. Every single take, line, word and breathe was intentional while recording and every tonal balance, volume change and section change was just as intentional. Many hours and intricate work was put into this song and I'm proud of how it came out!

A: Improving my studio space and growing clientele!
