I'm here to make your music pop.

Hi! My name is Ricky, I'm a music producer, songwriter, DJ and mixing/mastering engineer with over 5 years of experience. I have performed internationally, won competitions and my ghost productions/credits have charted on Billboard and amassed millions of plays.

How I can help you:
Do you have an idea that you want to finish? Perhaps make something from scratch? Want your song to sound a certain way?
I'm here to make the best out of your idea, finish it and even help with distribution.
I can work in any genre/style, however I prefer not to limit creativity with any boundaries

What you can expect from me:
A highly personalized production process.
Great software/hardware and only the best handpicked samples.
Professional communication.
100% satisfaction with the end result.

Anything else?
If you have more than one song, we can discuss pricing. For anything else feel free to ask!

Ricky really brought my song to life. He was very patient with all my detailed requests, trying really hard to bring my vision into this song while also suggesting and guiding what sounds better. He's got his very own musical style which shows. He was quite quick to respond to changes as well. Would love to work with him again.
