Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Apparently it is my falsetto. I can sing both low and high in falsetto as well as add some special shades to the singing. For example as I used belting technique in the song Redbone which I attached to my profile.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: For each project I try to create something special in sound, tune or back vocals. I use my experience to feel and nail the vibe and style of the song.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: When a client sends me a project I usually take a day to think it over. Then I make a recording and send it back. Usually everything is ok but I’m always open to all the comments and easily make any corrections. I need around one week to finish the project because I book a recording studio in advance. Everything depends on the urgency of the project. I discuss all the details with my clients in the chat.

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

A: It depends on the project I work on. When it comes to record the main tune in the track I record it at first. It is generally based on the song’s style and vibe. Then I usually record some back vocals. If there are no any I create it myself. I can sing both in falsetto and in the lower case of my voice. I perfectly control the sonority of my falsetto or I can add some special shades to it like Maxwell in the song ‘Fire We Make’ by Alicia Keys & Maxwell.
