Music Producer / Beatmaker

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

A: I am most proud of my song Yellow and Pink, which I made entirely by myself. The music video was shot by a friend of mine, but it was edited, directed, and produced by me.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I am working on several collaboration projects.

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

A: I know and would recommend Nicole Catherine.

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

A: Communication is everything.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Burial has influenced me the most with the way he can create a subtle ambiance that swallows up the listener.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital, since it is more efficient to make music that way. I need to do considerably less recording with digital music.

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

A: I promise to provide professional and attentive service.

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

A: The biggest misconception about me is that I am a beatmaker who does not desire to go professional. I am the opposite, in fact. While I do enjoy producing beats for clients, I put passion and hard work into making completed projects.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My Macbook Pro laptop, FL Studio 12, Pioneer DDJ SZ2, Pioneer DJ Pro, and a good set of speakers (preferably QSC or Mackie).

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I have been producing music for near seven years.

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

A: I would most like to produce a track with 100 gecs, since I believe that our styles would blend well.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Finish your songs.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I produce EDM and ambient.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is my ability to produce quickly.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring pizzaz and unorthodox song structure.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I make up my music as I go. Most songs of mine start with one simple idea, which I build an arrangement out of. I will mix and master a song as I go along. The only concrete part of my song building is that I usually produce drums first and sound effects like impacts, white noise, and risers last.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I produce all of my music on my Mac Laptop with FL Studio and Audio-Technica M50x headphones. I am able to create professional-sounding songs without studio equipment. My DJ Setup is much more expanded. I use the Pioneer DDJ SZ2, QSC K12.2 speakers, Behringer Eurolive B1200D Pro 12", and a Yamaha MG06X mixer.
