A: What exactly is your vision for your project? What sound are you looking for? How can I make this process easiest for you?
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: "Joy comes in the mourning" by Oswin Benjamin. The most heartfelt and complete project I've been a part of. It was an almost 2 year long journey and I learned a lot about myself as an artist working on this project. It was a pleasure to help someone bring their vision to life.

A: Whatever gets the job done at high quality.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A Guitar, an akai mini, a macbook pro, a mic, and an interface.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have always aimed to create music and to one day do it on a global scale. I've been at it for 15 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is eclectic. I never really believed in genres. Why put art in a box?
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Lauryn Hill. I honestly believe she has more music in her and I would love to write a song or two with her.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Follow your heart. Music is much more of a feeling than it is technical. Use the technical to enhance the feeling.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rnb, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lofi
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Singing
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I would like to think that I have the ability to complete a song. I Love to fill in the empty spaces with light and airy guitars and beautiful harmonies.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I am not particular about how a track should start. I have begun with just vocals or I've started with just drums. Sometimes its just an old song of mine that I repurpose and sample to make into something fresh and new.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I like to keep my production space simple with the use of plugins and live instruments to create the music. I believe over complicating your space can make your mind cluttered which isn't good for creativity.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by a lot of musicians/artists. Most of them don't directly influence my sound but their innovative sound sparks creativity. That would include people like Lauryn Hill, Barbra Streisand, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Marley. More currently I have been listening to artists like Laura Mvula, Burna Boy(anything afrobeat honestly), Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R, and house music sensation MoMa Ready(who happens to be my brother).
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Usually clients come to me with an idea or an acapella and I build around that if I am producing. If I am singing it's usually over an almost complete song. I Love to build harmonies within a song to fill up the emptiness. I do that same kind of work with guitar as well. I'm all about adding that extra something to an already well rounded idea, but I am also all for starting from scratch.
