A: I promise to put my heart and soul into the song as if it were my own,

A: I would say to express what you want the song to sound like and never hold back critiques. This is your baby. I want you to love it!
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been a professional in the music industry for 9 years. I moved to Los Angeles in 2011. I was on NBC's The Voice and was a Top 8 Finalist.

As well as singing all over the world.

A: I bring efficiency and emotion to a song. I am well versed and experienced with different feels, types and genres of songs.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually start with getting inspiration. Listening to the influences the client has listed as well as some others that fit the vibe. Getting myself in a creative space. Then begin to groove out to the track or playing myself. Then you have to put the rubber to the road and get to work. I find honestly this to be the most inspiring part of it all. Coming at it from different angles until you find just the right fit.
