I co-founded a record label Jungla Music, and opened the first local digital distributor Tierradefuego.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually begin discussing at the level of concept, idea, melody line or key lyrics. Then I take that to Ableton Live and fool around until I get a solid section (either intro, verse, chorus) and develop the rest from there. When the song is at an advanced stage, sounding good and with a complete structure, I bounce that and begin working the mix and final details in Pro Tools.
