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

A: Think about what you want before making a request. Listen to your favorite artists or songs and be prepared to provide a reference.

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

A: Phoebe Bridgers - We have a similar lyrical sense and she seems to lay fun lyrics into really serious subject matter, which is my favorite.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: What you actually hear is a better compass than traditional production "rules"

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

A: Usually Indie Rock, it's my favorite genre to play and write.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Listening. I try to listen to clients and fully understand their expectations before beginning a project.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Versatility. I can write about most any subject and from any perspectives. I like to write very metaphorically as well as literally depending on the subject matter.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work process is to get an idea or reference track from a client, take that idea and write my own take on it, give the initial idea to the client for feedback and then record a final demo depending on the project.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I use Logic and mostly analog equipment. I usually use one of my strats, but have multiple electric guitars. I use my Martin Steve Earle Model the most for acoustics, and record vocals with a Neumann tlm-103

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

A: John Mayer is everything. He's just it.

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

A: The common type of work I do is writing a song for a client, which includes the progression (music) and lyrics. Some people give me a lyrical idea they want me to expand upon, and others let me write about anything.
