Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: You’ll get vocals that are clean, intentional, and tuned to the exact mood you’re aiming for — always on time and tailored to your vision.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Turning someone’s story or emotion into a record they can feel and replay. Nothing better than that.

A: Q: “Can you match this vibe?” A: 100%. Just send a reference or describe what you’re feeling, and I’ll tailor the delivery to match.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: AT4040 mic, Scarlett interface, laptop, closed-back headphones, solar charger (gotta stay in plugged in).

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

Q: How would you describe your style?

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Mood, authenticity, and emotional control — I know when to hold back and when to let it spill. Every line has a purpose.
