I'm a music producer that is drawn to ominous, cinematic, and dynamic music. I write, arrange, record, and produce for RxGF which showcases a wide spectrum of my capabilities. I often co-produce with Jonathan Plum primarily at London Bridge and Calyptra Studios, but for projects in London, UK I've made SessionCorner one of my bases. Let's talk!
I offer a wide variety of services, but most of my referrals come from past clients who have benefitted from my work with writing and performing on melodies, counter melodies, and with composition/arrangement. I'm a multi-instrumentalist and I have an arsenal of musical talent that I draw from. I'm a 3-time AIMA award recipient and Grammy-Nominated voting Member of NARAS.
My Style:
I have a very focused, connected, and organic style of working with artists and I put my relationship building skills to work to earn trust with all parties to connect at the lyrical, musical, and personal level for every work. I partner with A-list engineers in several cities (please enquire) who take care of tactical execution while I focus on sculpting the overall sound. I work very well with artists who are specifically looking for me to craft and shape a salient musical statement from their unique presence and message.
For larger projects please see my Terms of Service. If you're interested in Videography, Publishing, Marketing, and PR, I'm happy to consult and have separate services and terms.
