A: I went Omaha North High where they had a music production program. I was also apart of the Drill Team playing snares & often helped with the High School band. From there I graduated and went to University of Omaha before really finding my passion & applying for Academy of Art University. I got my first industry placement with Zeus The Rebel, who was recording a feature verse for an artist I recorded for named JBreed The Rebel. My next placement came with Don Waun, who I collaborated with Drummajai & co mixed on production with, that turned into a Foogiano 1017 feature for him. I've since produced tracks & mixed for Tylr Boi & Myiah Lynnae who are under current management with AudioDope Development.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Process is subject to change depending on the work load. Could take anywhere from 2-3 days on mixing/mastering, depending on work load and time in the que. Day 1 - Tracking Vocals / Slight Mixing Day 2 - Mixing/Mastering Day 3 - Printed & Sent to Client for touch-up/revision request Day 4 - Final Mixing/Mastering

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My favorite engineer is Alex Tumay, who has engineered some hits for Young Thug & J.Cole, many others. I also am inspired by Mike Dean, who's worked with Travis Scott. Timbaland, Metro, 9th Wonder, Kanye West make up some of my inspiring producers.
