Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Track Consultation, Track Mixing/Mastering, Artist Development
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been involved in the arts and entertainment scenes for close to two decades. I went from musician to engineer to producer to manager to consultant. From primary school through secondary school I spent 9 years in various choral programs. Along the way I learned to play the piano and eventually started writing and composing my senior year. That same year I began learning synthesis and sound design which naturally progressed into mixing and producing sooon after. I further developed these skills while in attendance at the University of Texas. After stepping back from the music industry from '04 - '08 for a stint in the tech sector, I worked with a number of companies involved with event production, eventually starting my own - Unity Street Productions - in 2010. After some moderate successes and failures, I decided to go back to school for a degree in Music Business Performance and Technology, with an emphasis in engineering and sound design. Shortly thereafter, an Electronic Music label, Libra Rising Music, asked me to come work with them. Eager to learn about the inner workings of a label, I jumped at the opportunity. Eventually I got back into running Live Sound for venues through that got linked in with Swing House Studios out of L.A. when they did their showcases in Austin for SXSW. Through those showcases year after year, I built up a solid network of contacts in the industry that I can (and have) leverage(d) for assistance with anything that might come up for my clients.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Here's two: 1) Stop overcompressing everything. Dynamics are crucial to the success and likability of your songs. 2) You have to leave space in your songs to let them breathe. Sometimes the absence of a note or element is more important than the presence of one.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Perspective. Having been in the business as long as I have, I've worked with bands and artists of all types and genres and have taken in a lot of knowledge from working with each of them. I value the experience each of them have brought to the table and have integrated what I've gleaned into my own process.
