A: I'm usually proud of all the works I work in. I generally work as a producer/remixer or as singer and songwriter.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My work does not end until my client is fully satisfied. In songwriting/topling, I usually start playing piano melodies and structure the song. When I like how the melodies work together, I create lyrics for them and record the vocals. If I have to be the singer too, I first take care of the main vocals and the dynamics of the vocal in the song, the energy and the intentions and then I record the choirs plus the adlibs, stacks, shouts and all the rest. - In producing, I get inspiration on several tracks that the clients give me. Sometimes I use these other instrumentals as a mold, in order to create the structure and get the vibe. Then I change instruments, melodies, harmonies and create something totally new from that.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: As a songwriter and producer in songs for big artists.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Especially analog because of its essence. The imperfect harmonics and the heat of analog sound make the recordings have a soul. Digital just to remove imperfections. A combination between both of best worlds is the best, I think.
