Music Producer

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

A: One project I'm especially proud of is the music I make with Megan Mary. She's got a phenomenal voice, so my job is to create a sound that matches her energy without distracting from her talent. This is an ongoing project and I am so excited to make more music with her.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: At the moment, I’m working with several artists on rock music projects. It’s an exciting process, blending classic rock elements with modern production techniques to create something fresh and dynamic. Each artist has their own unique style, so I’m focusing on bringing out the best in their sound while ensuring the tracks have energy and emotion that resonate with listeners.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Yes, there are several talented professionals on SoundBetter that I’d recommend depending on the project’s needs. Whether it’s vocalists, session musicians, or mastering engineers, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredible people who excel in their fields. If a client needs a specific skill set or collaboration, I’m always happy to point them in the direction of trusted colleagues who can enhance the project.

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

A: My promise to my clients is to deliver a product that meets or exceeds their expectations, while staying true to their creative vision. I commit to bringing a high level of professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail to every project. I'll communicate openly throughout the process, ensure that you're heard, and make adjustments until you're 100% satisfied with the final result. Ultimately, I’m dedicated to making sure your music stands out and resonates with listeners.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I love most about my job is the creative freedom and the opportunity to collaborate with talented artists. There's nothing more rewarding than helping bring someone’s vision to life and seeing the emotional impact a finished song can have. Every project is different, so I’m constantly challenged and inspired. Whether it’s exploring new sounds, blending genres, or finding that perfect mix, the process never feels repetitive – it’s always exciting

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: One of the most common questions I get is: How long will it take to finish the track? My answer is always that it depends on the complexity of the project and how clear the vision is. I prioritize quality over speed, so while I work efficiently, I want to ensure every element is polished and aligns with your goals. Another frequent question is: Can you make my song sound like [insert artist]? I always say that while I can take inspiration from an artist's style, the key is to create something uniquely yours, not just a replica.

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

A: The biggest misconception is that the creative process is always quick and straightforward. Every now and then, you get a song that only takes 5 minutes to make and it sounds great. But most of the time, a good song requires a great deal of work to get it sounding the way you want. Making a great song is kind of like going to the gym. You're not always excited to go to the gym and exercise, but we still do it because the results are worth the work.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: When hiring a provider like me, it’s important to be clear about your vision from the start. Communicate your creative goals, preferred sound, and any references that inspire you. That helps me tailor my approach to bring your project to life in the way you imagine. Also, trust in the collaborative process. I’m here to add value, so be open to feedback and experimentation – it often leads to the best results!

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

A: I would love to work with JPEGMAFIA. He's not afraid to slam 3 different genres into one song. He's definitely one of my biggest creative influences.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I've got a great ear for textures. With the right set of sounds, you can make a single chord progression into a hit song.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Analog definitely has a certain charm to it's sound, but digital is incredibly quick and lets me get my ideas down very quickly. So if I had to choose, I'd have to say digital.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: 1. Can you send me some reference songs for the vibe of the track you want to make? 2. What's the timeline for this project? 3. What are you trying to say with this project?

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have a set of studio monitors, a maschine mikro, a focusrite 18i8, a yamaha digital piano, a Fender Stratocaster, a SUB series bass guitar, and a yamaha acoustic guitar. I make my music in maschine and fl studio.
