Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Smoozie - Close To Hell. I made this song in two or so days and it has more than 1 million streams on Spotify.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Nope.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. But to be honest I prefer digital more because it's easier to work with.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The mixing process is like meditation for me. It's a conversation between your imagination and sounds.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: - What's the price? - It depends of what do you want from me.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: How many track outs do you have and what's the deadline? ;)
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Make sure you speak English correctly and we'll understand each other.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 1. Laptop with software on it 2. Apollo Twin X 3. Sennheiser HD 650 4. Neumann U 87 AI 5. Refrigerator
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started making music when I was 12 or 13 y.o. I been making beats back then for rap artists. But the more I've been making beats the more I realizing that my sound is not good enough at mixing point of view, then I started to learn how to mix music properly. To make long story short I'm 26 y.o. now, so I've been making music 13 years already.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is always learning new things and make it work in practice.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with any talented artist just because I like listening to new music and being a part of it.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Sure! The most important thing that gets underestimated in the production of a song is the quality of the source signal. The better it is, the better the result.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work with Hip-Hop, EDM & Pop. Sometimes I work with Rock music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Sitting in a chair all day. Well, you know, it's not that easy!
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A fresh ear & a fresh breath to the sound without destroying the emotional part of a song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Well, since I'm a full time musician/mixing engineer, my days are started the same - I woke up & go to my PC to make some work done.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My setup is always upgrading. 2 years ago I have only KRK Rokit 8, then I bought Sonarworks and mine pair of speakers was changed to another level. 1 year ago I get Sennheiser HD650, then I bought dSONIC Realphones and the sound of these headphones was jumped to another level. I'm always looking for an opportunity to buy a new gear & take it to my setup.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I really love Therr Maitz, Charlie Puth, Bound To Divide, Skrillex, Virtual Riot, ZHU, Illangelo, Drumma Boy, Chris Lord-Alge. They're so many talented people nowadays.
