Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're considering hiring a provider like me, I have one crucial piece of advice: prioritize your recording quality. Great results rely heavily on the quality of your audio materials. I only take on projects where I can work with well-produced recordings. So, ensure your recordings and arrangements are top-notch to achieve the best outcome.

A: My typical work process is all about creativity and immersion. I start by listening to music, allowing the details and vibe to inspire me fully. Next, I select the ideal setup for the recording to ensure the best outcome. From there, I dive into composing the bass lines. For me, this entire process is an artistic endeavor; I firmly believe that templates stifle creativity in artistic work.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio setup is designed to deliver exceptional sound tailored to the specific needs of each project, featuring a diverse collection of basses, amps, cabinets, mics, and pedals. As a bassist, I rely on my Fender Jazz Bass American Deluxe and Music Man Stingray, along with three Yamaha TRB series instruments, to provide versatility and depth. For amplification, I use the powerful Ampeg SVT III PRO paired with a 4x10 Ampeg cabinet, and the GK MB 500 with a 4x10 GK cabinet, ensuring I have the right tone for any genre. Additionally, my collection includes stunning Brazilian handmade basses that add a unique flair. In the recording process, I utilize the RME Fireface 400 for pristine audio capture, the Universal Audio LA 6176 Mic channel strip for professional-grade processing, and the Fractal XL-II for advanced sound shaping. This setup empowers me to create high-quality music that truly stands out.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I draw inspiration from a wide range of musicians and music production professionals. As a dedicated bass player, embracing diverse influences is essential for developing my unique style. Key figures like Steve Harris, Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee, Gary Willis, Nico Assumpção, and John Myung have profoundly shaped my approach. Their artistry fuels my creativity and drives me to push my musical boundaries.
