I'm a versatile music producer that brings emotion into your melodies, and shockwaves to your drums. In pop music the melodies and drums have always been a driving force to a song. I am here to make yours stand out from the rest.
Coming from a musical background playing drums at the age of 7, it wasn't to hard to tell I would head into a musical direction. Without any schooling in music, I picked up the guitar and piano along the way. Fast forward I'm using my full potential to the best of my ability to pursuit a full-time career in music.
