I am here to realise an artists’ vision for the song and execute it to its full potential.
I fell in love with music at a very early age of 8 when my parents decided to embark me on a musical journey. Over the coming years I was placed in a music school where I extended my knowledge with in-depth studies in classical music and composition. I also sang in a boys choir for 8 1/2 years and I believe this type of intense training helped me develop my ear in timbre, texture and tone.
I was led to believe to have a ‘raw talent’ but I am a great believer in hard work and this has reflected in my work with individuals listed in my credits.
My determination is to deliver outstanding results and people who I have worked realise this from the offset. I pay attention to detail and always decide what is best for music and I can assure it is not the gear that makes your music sound expensive.
Music is a thing of beauty to me and it is not just the vocal that captures your heart but the whole instrumentation and the correlation between them all. I specialise in Pop, Rock and Hip Hop but as a lover of music my enjoyment comes from a spectrum of genres ranging from RnB, Jazz to hard-core metal.
