Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I am a finisher. I love coming in when someone has poured their hard work and creative energy into something and help bring it to life. I thrive in situations where I can take a good idea and turn it into a great execution of that idea.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: Any project where I am help an artist release their first creative work is such a blast. Figuring out the vision for your song and then releasing it to the world to see how it resonates with people is one of my favorite aspects of my job.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What are your goals with music? What are your goals with this specific release/project? How do you measure your success when it comes to making music? What would you say are the biggest gaps in your skills that someone could help fill in? What kind of input/guidance would you like from your collaborators?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: I read once that searching for the cheapest service is a race to the bottom in terms of effort and quality. When you are considering who to use for your project and the budget involved, remember that there is no cutting corners when it comes to music production. With my years of experience, I know I can tackle anything you throw at me, and you can have confidence that I can take your track to the next level and help you reach your goals.

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

A: I started making songs over ten years ago when I was in high school and made a profile on Myspace to share them, where my music gained traction and eventually gained over 20 million streams. I signed a label deal and released my self-produced album with Universal Republic when I was 19, shortly after graduating high school. This album featured a duet with Grammy award winner Colbie Caillat and was mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, John Mayer, Regina Spektor). I also signed a publishing deal with the largest publisher in the world, Sony/ATV. After a short time touring and promoting my own music, I moved to Nashville to pursue working with other artists more. I eventually landed another publishing deal with Tree Vibez Music (Florida Georgia Line), and began to produce and write for others full time. The artists I've worked with have collectively gained over 50 million streams.

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

A: I work on a variety of styles. Over the years I have produced pop, folk, country, and more. At the end of the day, all music requires the same ability to step back and make sure you have an understanding of what the artist wants to do within the boundaries they set and what they need to compete in their chosen genre.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: With my wide background as an artist/writer/producer, I bring a lot of experience and knowledge to the table. I am familiar with every point in the process of releasing a song, from its inception to the final product. I have worked with both major and independent labels and artists, and have a good sense of what I can bring to any project to elevate it and bring it to the next level.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I am very organized and prompt; I try to make sure and keep my artists in the loop about the progress I've made on their music so they can feel confident in the work I'm doing. I often check in to make sure I'm taking things in the right direction and the artist is happy. Typically after I turn a first draft in, we go through 1-2 revision rounds to reach the final product.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have been working on my home studio setup for over 10 years, and it has everything I need to full produce a song from beginning to finish. I have a great selection of gear, microphones, and instruments. Additionally, I have a huge pool of talent here in Nashville that I can call in whenever it makes sense to collaborate with other musicians on a song.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I often do full production work for my clients. Many times, however, they may need to use someone else due to budget or location, and they prefer to bring me on at the end of the project to polish everything up and mix/master the project for final release.
