Singer, Songwriter, Producer

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

A: No matter what project, whether it be big or small, I put 100% passion into it. You will get a track that I will not rest until I can call it my own.

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

A: I've been in the music industry for over 10 years. My brothers and I used to be in a Canadian rock band called "Fairchild Brothers". We had some radio play and toured across Canada. However, at some point it came to an end and I found myself working on other projects. Not just for myself but using my experience and skills to help other artists make a career out of their passion.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I'm heavily inspired by 80's and 90's synth sounds such as the popular Juno 106 and DX7. However I still try to make it my own, this isn't the 80's after all right? I'll mix those sounds along with new sounds I find or create myself.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don't be afraid to experiment. Tomorrow's greatest hit isn't using yesterday's sound.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I have spent most of my life, not just listening to music but analyzing how a song is made. Countless hours spent studying songwriting methods from pros like Max Martin and many others. Using these methods I was able to win a songwriting award from the ISC Songwriting Competition. As well as songwriting, I have also studied music production and the ins and outs of how to produce a track. Essentially learning how to put my creative mind into a physical song.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Melodies are the bread and butter of a song. I'll play around with chords until I can find that one melody in my head that creates a spark. From there It's all a matter of finding the right feel and beat. I don't like to wear out the ear so I try to only spend around 2-3 hours a day per track. This way the track always remains fresh to my ears and I can apply my best creative ideas.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Currently my main studio is being renovated and I have been working out of my home studio. - Running everything though my 2019 Macbook Pro - DAW of choice: Logic Pro x. - Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 - KRK Rokit5 Gen 4 - Shure SM7B - Audio Techinica AT4040 - Novation 49S MKIII - Novation Launchpad X - Komplete Kontrol M32 and a plethora of samples and plugins including most Waves plugins.

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

A: As a songwriter and producer, Indie Pop and Alternative are usually my go-to type of music but I am experienced with all genres. I grew up with a lot of pop punk and very familiar with that style however most recently I have been having fun writing a lot of Lo-Fi Chill Hop beats.
