A: What will you do? Whatever I need to make it sound great.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do your songs mean to you?
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I run an hybrid setup, with 16 outs routed through a heavily modified analog Tascam mixer, with all my analog gear hooked up.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
