Singer/Songwriter/Demo Produce

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Original songs for me as an artist and improving my guitar and piano skills :)

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

A: I've currently been a professional singer for the past 6 years. I've mostly been a vocalist at events, session demos, and writing songs with other artists to help them tell their stories.

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

A: I specialize in pop/R&B/country but really any songs that need a powerful vocal on them.

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

A: Session vocals for demos, as well as providing "hooks" or chorus' for other musicians' songs. Also toplining.

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

A: That I just play on YouTube all day watching cover videos or doodle in notebooks.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is soulful and powerful with raw emotion behind it. It's fun to start a little more restrained at first so that the chorus and bridge can really shine.

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

A: Julia Michaels because she's amazing at telling her story in a relatable and honest way that is also fun and becomes something you can tap your toe to :)

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My ability to take feedback and criticism and push myself harder to become an even greater version of myself.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Magnificentness :) But really, I bring the song to life in the emotional and powerful way clients envision and I do this by making sure that the song is enunciating the way it's intended, the vibe and energy match the song, and all the notes and feelings are there. It's really a collaborative process and I will keep going until you are 110% satisfied.

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

A: I LOVE Tori Kelly. She did it all on her own with just heartfelt songs, talent, and good production. I admire that. I try to be like her. I'm also super inspired by Julia Michaels because her honest and raw songwriting and singing is just something I aspire to in my own writing skills.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have a separate room in my house and I have it all soundproofed with panels I got from another studio that moved, I use a Blue Microphone SL Large Diaphragm Condenser Studio Mic. that brings a rich, warm quality to my vocals, and I record and mix it all on Logic Pro X.

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

A: Mickey Shiloh. She's a fantastic singer and writer.

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

A: You will be happy with the end result. If you're unhappy with any part of the process I will make sure that my work is not complete until you have a product that works for you.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What is a song that you love that you think this song you're looking to finish sounds most like? This way I can understand the emotion, vibe, enunciating, etc.

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

A: Make sure you provide as MUCH information upfront on what you're looking for out of the vocalist that way there isn't needless back and forth with a provider that actually isn't a good fit for what you're looking for.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Make sure the vocals are as on point as possible before the mix starts. Better to start with a good foundation instead of trying to make all these tweaks that could be made with a retake.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Get an inquiry, ask more about the vibe and the style they would want to convey in the song (maybe ask for a well-known artist's song as an example of the vibe they want), begin work on the vocals, and send off. There is always an open line of communication as well if a line needs to be sung differently or if there needs more energy type of thing. This can all be worked out no problem.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Seeing how happy they are when they hear the demo and realize they could finish the song even if they weren't able to provide the vocals themselves. They can have their vision still come through and I love how excited they get.
