A: Paisley, he's an awesome house producer and colleague, trained by Brady Kerr as well. He also recommended that I try SoundBetter so huge shout out to him.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital. I get great results, Its portable, I can work from anywhere, I can save a lot of money & often times those huge mixers are just there for aesthetic reasons anyway.

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

A: I promise that I am not happy until you LOVE the result.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Seeing someone who is new to recording excited about the results. Watching them leave happy and listening to their song on their phone with a smile on their face. OR when customers record and hear the raw file and start to get super pumped once I start adding plug ins & effects. That's always fun.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: A lot of people don't know the difference between mixing and mastering.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I would ask questions about their project, their struggles, and how I could help. Then, depending on what they are hiring me for I would ask the following: If they want me to sing: What about? Any reference tracks that evokes the emotion you want to evoke? If I'm Mixing / Mastering: Which Artist's mixes do you love? What song sounds most like yours?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I am working on building my brand as Nathan Scott as well as my house music side project Roam Amor.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My Laptop, My ZOOM mic (cause it can be used as an interface/ mic), My Acoustic Guitar (with DI in case theres wind), my headphones, and an instrument cable. This right here would be a very portable setup and I'm sure i could get some awesome samples on that island.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: My path could've gone in about 5 directions. I've tried: Graphic Design, Visual Arts, Clothing Designer, Bartender, DJ, and Tattoo Artist. I've been producing music for 4 years now and am now ready to go all in on this path.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Experimental and ever-expanding. Like NYC melting pot.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: If you are a new producer don't expect that everything or even anything you make will be good, It takes time, repetition and dedication. It's in the process that you find passion and once you've found passion there are no mistakes.

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

A: Whatever type of music is inspiring me at the moment mixed with whatever has inspired me in the past. I have worked on a wide variety of genres and especially love blending genres. to name a few: House, Future Bass, Dubstep, Pop, Hip Hop, Reggaeton, Reggae, Jazz, Classical, Riddim, Trap, Alternative, Rock, Metal and everything in between.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring my attention to detail, My life experience, and an open heart.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Every track is different, I don't have a specific process but I do move fast and take an outcome independent approach to creating. Sort of like throwing paint at a wall and seeing what sticks. After I feel like the song is showing its face then I'll add the makeup (arrange, mix & master).
