Music Producer

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

A: Simply, perfection. The cool part of music production is that you can guarantee perfection. With enough skill, determination, and attention to detail, I promise to deliver perfection. (That felt cheezy, but I really mean it)

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

A: Find someone who will bring out your vision, not force theirs on you.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I tend to get inside the clients head and bring out what they are imagining. It's hard to put a label on my style. I grew up with a very diverse musical background. One day I feel EDM the next I'm doing a classical piece.

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

A: P!nk. She is such a talented singer and a real bad ass!

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: One of the biggest things that helped me when I was first starting out was not being able to afford sample packs or expensive plug-ins. This forced me to really learn how to work with and manipulate sounds to be exactly what I want them to sound like. For example, i made a very realistic guitar sound using Logics built in Clav and a bunch of built in plug-ins. I guess my tip is to play around with sounds instead of going straight to the preset.

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

A: Pop would be the main genre, but I guess that is very general.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I always try to subtly add elements that you would not expect that just add layers of complexity to the production. Something that you won't necessarily notice the first time you listen.

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

A: Max Martin for sure. He is responsible for more number one songs than Michael Jackson, and yet many don't even know his name. The brilliancy of his work is a true inspiration.

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

A: I most commonly receive voice memos of original songs and create a professional instrumental. I then send that to the client and have them send my their vocals. If they are local I record them at my studio. I then process the vocals and mix and master the entire track.
