Hey! I've been working in this industry for a little bit more than a decade and what I've realized is that music goes beyond a # on a chart, jumping on the first commercial wave or copy/pasting a template.
Working with me means allowing yourself to explore your craft and find your genuine intentions when making music. We can create the "hypest" club song or an alternative proposal, that's your call.
So, what can I do for your music? My wide taste in music enables me to make your songs be label-less. My technical knowledge and engineer background will help you traduce your ideas into great music for you to connect with listeners. I have various trained skills to help artists/bands develop their sound and identity.
Working with a wide range of genres made me capable of combining influences, allowing me to produce world class songs that engage with several audiences.
What can I do for you?
> Produce a whole track for you or just collaborate on arrangements.
> Program drums, synths or add textures and details to your songs. I like experimenting.
> My main instrument is guitar and I've recorded hundreds of guitar tracks for different producers and artists. Also commercial (publicity) music. I have Class A gear, four guitars (for different sound palette), various pedals, two amps (Jackson Ampworks Britain 4 and Fender Twin Reverb) and UAD Amps.
> Mix your song. I like to be creative with sounds, textures and focus on emotion.

A: Sampha, I like his vocal tone and vibe. Toro y Moi, I like his approach to genres and music in general.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: There's no formula. Good songs are timeless. Simplify.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Genre-bending music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I balance technical aspects and skills with intuition and feel. Wide taste.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Freshness, versatility, feel and emotion.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Depends on what I'm doing. If I am producing I usually ask the client to provide a playlist with songs that have similar mood, vibe and sonics to what the artist is looking to sound like. Then I work on a track and help with the top-line and composition. With some artists I make studio sessions where we write, compose and produce in the studio.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: UA Apollo Duo Interface. Preamps: Neve 1073, UA 2-610. Hardware processors: WARM AUDIO 1176, LA-2A & Pultec. Microphones: Neumann 103, Cascade Fathead, Shure Sm7, Shure Sm57 and Sm58, Beta 52. Monitors: Genelec 1029a Guitar Amps: Jackson Ampworks Britan 4.0, Fender Twin Reverb Guitars: Suhr Classic, Gretsch Duo Jet, Fender Telecaster (suhr pickups), Reverend Jetstream and Martin Acoustic Guitar.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Toro y Moi. Frank Ocean. Channel Tres. Tame Impala. James Blake.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Usually I am working on tracks (beats), recording at my studio (mostly guitars for other producers) but also vocals, keys, bass and programmed drums. Most of the projects I produce I also mix them.
