AI to Human Vocalist/Producer

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both. Good analog gear adds character you can't fake, but digital gives you the speed and control to actually finish records. The real skill is knowing what each song needs — sometimes it's a chain of hardware on the vocal, sometimes it's a clean digital path. Tool choice is part of the craft.

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

A: "When can you have it?" Honest answer: first sample in 2–3 business days, final delivery within 5–10 business days for most projects. If you need it faster, just ask — I'll tell you straight whether it's doable.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: A few essentials: What's the song for — release, sync, pitch, demo? Got any references? Even one is gold. What's the dream version of this song in your head? Anything technical I should know — tempo, key, deadline, vocal range? The clearer we are upfront, the faster we land on something you love.

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

A: Be clear about what you want — even one good reference track tells me more than a paragraph of description. And don't overthink it. If you're not sure whether your idea is ready, send it anyway. I'd rather help you shape it than have you sit on a great song waiting for the "right moment."

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

A: I started studying music as a teenager and have been working professionally for over 8 years. 1000+ tracks delivered, 60M+ streams across songs I've been part of. Today I split my time between artist work, client sessions, and full productions with my team.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Modern, emotional, clean. I grew up on Pop and EDM and I bring that sensibility to everything I touch — but with the warmth and storytelling that comes from working deeply in Latin and Pop-Rock too. The common thread across genres is emotion. If it doesn't move you, it doesn't ship.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Acoustic treatment beats expensive gear. A $200 mic in a properly treated room will outperform a $4000 mic in an untreated one. Treat your space first — everything else is downstream of that.

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

A: Mainly Pop, EDM, Pop-Rock, Latin (Reggaeton and Latin Pop included), Soul, R&B, and Dance. Native bilingual delivery in English and Spanish is one of the strongest things I bring to the table.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Emotion first. Technique is just the tool. A great vocal isn't about hitting notes — it's about making someone feel something they didn't expect. That's what I try to bring every time, whether I'm tracking a lead or producing the full track from scratch.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Soundproof, acoustically treated home studio, constantly updated. Pro Tools and Cubase on Mac, Apollo Twin X interface, Slate VMS Microphone. Monitoring on ADAM A7X and AKG K712 Pro headphones. For full productions, I tap into my co-producer's setup too, so the project has access to a wider chain of analog and digital tools depending on what the song needs.

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

A: Three main lanes: lead vocals and harmonies on existing productions (English or Spanish), topline writing — turning your idea or instrumental into a finished song with melody and lyrics, and full productions from scratch with my team, mixing and mastering included. Many clients combine two or three of these in the same project.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: As a vocalist, Freddie Mercury for raw emotion and Charlie Puth for his musicality and modern pop sensibility. On the production side, I draw a lot from Max Martin, Finneas, and Andrew Watt — producers who always serve the song instead of getting in the way of it.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: It depends on the project, but the principle is the same: I listen first. Your reference, your demo, your voice memo — even an AI sketch you want turned into a real, copyrightable track. I need to feel the emotion behind the song before touching anything technical. For vocals, I send a first sample in 2–3 business days so we can align fast. For full productions, I work alongside my long-time co-producer Fede Catenaro and a tight team of session musicians, so you get a full studio's firepower with the personal attention of working directly with one artist. Clear communication, fast updates, no surprises.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My voice — flexible enough in tone and color to deliver everything from intimate ballads to high-energy pop hooks, natively in both English and Spanish. That bilingual delivery is rare and it's one of my strongest cards. But beyond the voice, what really sets me apart is that I deliver: I show up, I commit fully to the song, and what you get back is release-ready.

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

A: Charlie Puth — his musicality, harmony game, and craftsmanship are next level.

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

A: That a vocalist or producer needs to live in LA, London, or Nashville to deliver world-class work. The game changed. I've been delivering top-tier vocals and productions to clients on every continent from my own studio for years — what matters is the result, not the zip code.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Moving between styles. One day I'm tracking an emotional Spanish ballad, the next a high-energy EDM hook, the next producing a full Pop-Rock record from scratch. Every project pulls something different out of me, and that keeps me sharp and in love with what I do.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: You'll get a release-ready track that exceeds the version you had in your head when you first heard the song. Clear communication, on-time delivery, and a real human who cares about your song — not a service line.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: A few things in parallel: vocal sessions for international clients in English and Spanish, full productions with my team, and finishing the next batch of releases under my own artist name, Martin Trevox.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: I've worked alongside great songwriters, engineers, and instrumentalists on SoundBetter and I'm happy to point clients toward trusted collaborators when a project needs something outside my lane.
