Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Sophieee why are you so fly???? I say I dunno! I just am
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: its easy!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you want to say to the world?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Just bring yourself and lets have fun
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: quirky pop
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: The whole point is to tell the story of the song. I like to think of production like a live band/show and work on dynamics of the song so they tell the story
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: recently indie pop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: melody and creativity.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: melody comes quick. Lyrics I ponder a little longer. Production I just have fun with it.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Ive had the honor of writing for really big artists and hearing my songs all over the radio, but the coolest thing I did was make my own record last year. It was probably the least notable thing I've ever done, but I wrote the whole thing on piano, then produced it, co-mixed it, directed the music videos. It was creatively freeing after working in the music industry for so long.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I share a studio that has everything from a huge digital library/sample library/plugin library, to a full analog setup with live drums, piano, guitars, etc....
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I grew up listening to Lauryn Hill and D'angelo. Although I don't make music like them, the musicianship on their records is so good it makes me feel bad about myself everyday and like I could play music the rest of my life and never be as good. lol.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
