Grammy + Platinum Mix Engineer

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I would say my ability to collaborate and communicate with different types of creatives. Being able to listen and absorb their thoughts and ideas and inject those suggestions into the final mix.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: After I get all of the stems organized, I like to listen and see what's there, see what the artist and producer are trying to convey with the production and the lyrics. I like to get a feel for the direction of the song and get a nice plan together for the mix.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Make sure that your kick(s) if you use more than one, and your bass line up and are in phase with each other.. Nothing can ruin the low end of a song like phase issues.

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

A: I help clients with everything from mixing and recording to production arrangement. I help the song reach its fullest potential and deliver it as a polished finished product.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I'm huge fan of analog, I think it sounds the best, but its not always the best decision for every song. Analog costs more to do and that money can always be used to help further the song after the creative process is completed. You have to weigh the benefits versus the cost and what needs to be done help the song permeate the marketplace.
