Q: What's your typical work process?

A: The typical work process involves meeting the artist/client for a short interview to get a better understanding of needs and requirements. After that, my team and I begin our process of researching the artist, their competitors, and the proposed genre to begin composing the music, writing the lyrics, and recording the demo. The demo includes the lead vocals, as well as background vocals. When we present the record to a client, we want it to sound like a finished product. We tailor each song to our client's needs. Once we preview the song to the client and they approve, we get right into the recording process.Sometimes we get right into it in the studio, and sometimes the client may want to way a couple of days before recording. We handle all vocal production with my co-writer and vocal producer, Thaddeus "T.A." Anwar. We also do all vocal editing, tuning, and timing as necessary to strengthen our product. We mix the music, and outsource all of our mastering. We take our time, and demand perfection from our clients that we work with. We take pride in being able to give a high quality product.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: Full song production which includes: composition of the music, songwriting, vocal production, recording, mixing, and mastering. We are a production team focused on providing top quality, professional, and competitive songs to our clients.
