Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Analog sound in a digital world! I think, working the way we work here nowaday fully out of the box is impracticable, too much versions, revisions, changes. But I love analog sounding records, so I try to bring that sound even in digital 'in-the-box' reign.

A: These days I am working remotely (due to COVID-19) on mixing 2020's italian summer hits, and I am also working on some personal productions.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I "promise" to bring my passion in every work, and to help the project to be delivered in his best version.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

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

A: My relationship with music started at 14, when i started playin' bass and few years later, recording some band stuff in my family garage; after high school, I begun to play with sound, recordings, and mixes, and i graduated at SAE Institute in Milan; then I continued working as freelance and, almost 7 years ago I entered Fonjka Factory and I did start mixing for italian "big names".

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Listen to a lot of music, not just the one you get from the radio or from top-40, every kind of music, then listen again! Be who you are, and bring passion in every work you do, our brain feels passion.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I always listen to other production professionals' works, I think in music you can learn something from everyone, no matter your experience, there are no real rules. I am always inspired by others.

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

A: Most of time, my job consists in mix artists songs, and deliver them the best version of their project from my point of view, but always respecting their perspective and taste, sometimes it is just cleaning some frequencies, other times it need to get a little deeper in the track. Sure thing, on every project the vocals deserve a little more attention, starting from tuning (when needed), all the way to a well-sitting in the mix vocal.
