Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm working on some more R&B styles and some cooler acoustic vibes.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital. It's faster and my brain needs to bounce through things quickly.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: How long until I get a finished product? We can get you something quick right away and give you that to work on, or we can spend lots of time on it. Whatever you feel happy walking away with.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: What I find is some people think this is easy or quick. This takes a lot of effort, brain power, time, and passion.

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

A: Take your time in choosing the right topliner/vocalist for you. You want someone who will remove their own influence and try to come as close to your vision as possible.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I've been toplining for 5 years now and have been a vocalist for 4 years.

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

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is definitely alternative. Think haunting sweet vocals with dark hip hop beats.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Zedd or Calvin Harris

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Never scrap your bad dieas. They might be good ideas one day.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I release my own alternative pop music but I've written hip hop, rap, r&b, country and more.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My lyricism.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: My lyrics often paint the bigger picture. I enjoy exploring the human psyche and can write lyrics a listener can relate to. Storytelling is the most important part of a song in my opinion. My vocals are soft and small and have been described as "haunting".

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I get a beat or a piece of music and that's where I begin writing lyrics and vocal melodies. I typically take some time to let the artist in on what I'm working on and make revisions where necessary. I then record the lyrics with the vocal melody over the music to let the client know what the finished project will sound like and we can make more revisions again from there. If the client would like my vocals on the song I'll then record professionally and export the trackouts to be mixed and mastered.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My own home studio with access to recording equipment and editing software.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I often write lyrics for near to finished beats or instrumentals as well as offer my vocals.
