Producer / Engineer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I'm especially proud of the mix I did on LASTNGHT SHY's "TEN MINUTES" due to the way it came out. The bass so punchy, the vocals so crisp, everything just came together. Not only that, but my client was just as satisfied as I was.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest misconception would probably be the mixing process. One has to mix until they believe it is done only to wake up the next morning realizing there is much more work to do. This is why some mixes can take longer than others. Some tracks just have more going on and require more time to get them to sound as good.
