Music Producer, Engineer

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

A: A project that I am especially proud of is my Project Lowlife Music II. I love this project because I wrote on, produced, mixed, and master the entire project and I believe it came out great and I am excited to create more music to release to the world.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My work process heavily depends on what I am doing at the moment. Since I produce, song-write, and engineer I can be doing any of the three at any moment and I have different work processes for all of them. But typically my music process begins with some inspiration followed by execution of some sort whether it's me writing something down or producing an instrumental to use from there it all depends on what I decide to do next.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio setup is super astounding or state of the art but it definitely gets the job done. I work out of my studio typically. My setup consists of a Macbook Pro 2021 computer with an Apollo Twin X Quad. I have a Neumann TLM 102 for my preferred microphone and a Kaotica Eyeball over the top of it to keep unwanted reverberation from getting into my recordings. Lastly, I have JBL 305P Speakers and AKG headphones to assist me with playback and mixing.

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

A: The most common work I do for artists is Hip Hop and R&B. But I try to work with all types of music.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Judgment. When I deal with music I am incredibly critical especially when it's something that I'm working on. My judgment is not perfect and I will never claim it to be but people around me trust my judgment whether it's with their song or work in general. So my strongest skill I would say is my judgment of how music should sound and feel. Again I am not claiming to have perfect judgment at all.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Energy and perspective. I love fresh ideas and coming up with new things and learning new things. I also feel like I can bring much more to a song because I produce, mix, and song-write. So I guess in post-production and production in general I bring perspective but as an artist, I believe that I bring great energy and feeling to the music

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

A: The music production professionals that inspire me the most are Alex Tumay and Mike Dean. I like the work Alex Tumay does for some popular Atlanta artists. I think he is a huge piece to the Atlanta sound that everyone loves. I also like Mike Dean for the work he does with Travis Scott. Travis Scott has some of the best mixing and overall sonically pleasing music we have heard as of recent and Mike Dean is a huge piece in that.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital because it gives me the option to work in analog or not. It helps with the different situations music can put you in.

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

A: At first, I didn't know what I wanted to be and I know it's cliche at this point but music really gave me direction. It's like once I started doing music I realized what I really want to do. I started making music in 2017 and have been doing it to the present.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Melodic and bouncy but a little dark.

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

A: Way too many. But on the artist at the top of that list are Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Drake, 40, and literally, the list never stops. I wanna work with these artists because of each of their individual contributions to hip-hop and I believe working with each of them could help me grow as an overall artist and producer myself.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Practice is really underrated. I promise you practice will make you better and better not the gear or the products you own. Also, research. Read articles about music production and mixing. Don't be afraid to learn from other music is a collaborative process.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: The most common work I do for artists is Hip Hop and R&B. But I try to work with all types of music.
