  8. A: I can bring whatever is needed from additional instruments to just sound advice.

  9. Q: What's your typical work process?

  10. A: If I am writing and working on my own song then I begin with the writing and typically have a list of recent riffs or melodies written out to choose from and basically just go from there.

  11. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  12. A: I switch my set up quite a bit depending on the project but I have a few mixers/interfaces I use, mostly work on protools 12 these days, switch out different mics that I have been using for a while, an Akai MPK 49 as a MIDI controller, a pair of Mackie CR3 Monitors, and a few different amps.
