Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Harmonic exciters/saturators are far less destructive than EQ's when trying to 'boost' or enhance certain frequency ranges. Many EQ's introduce unpleasant distortion when pushed too hard, hence why their's more value in making EQ 'cuts' instead of boosts. Try using an exciter/saturator to fatten up your low-end, brighten your highs, or add some warmth in your mid-range.

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

A: I tend to work on house music the most given that is what I make as an artist, however I also work on most other dance music genres. Most notably hip-hop and R&B.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: When mixing dance music, drums are always a strong point for me. I'm known for being able to bring drums to life, making them really punch as well as sound crisp/sharp whilst retaining clean dynamics. Not to mention the clarity and depth across the rest of the frequency spectrum. I always aim to find the middle ground between a polished sounding track that also has a lot of character and colour through using my various analogue and digital processors harmoniously. All of this ca be heard via my audio samples.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I always aim to get the most out of a song without going overboard, whether i'm producing, mixing, mastering,etc.

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

A: The most common type of work I carry out for clients is mixing and mastering. Generally, the production side of things tends to be when I am producing beats/instrumental tracks for vocalists or doing remixes. I do offer production work on other producers/artists projects as well.
