I had a blast mixing Elle's record. I hope to work with her again in the future.
Saul City was a complete blessing to work with. I have never worked with a production team virtually but it ended up working out beautifully. Lauren and Michele responded swiftly, and we were always able to find times to talk through the long distance. Both are extremely talented and knowledgeable musicians and I cannot wait to work with them again. Michele's production was outstanding and inspiring. I love the theatric feel he was able to portray in the song. Lauren went above and beyond! She wrote and created an incredible vocal arrangement which helped my song grow to its full potential.

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The most fascinating part is getting to work with new people, their perspectives, their form of expression. We learn so much.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Well, we guess a guitar, notebook and pen would be the best options. WE can always record everything once we are saved haha.
Q: How would you describe your style?

A: We bring our heart and soul mostly and all the influences we've been into all these years, mixed with our own character as artists.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Being a team, allows us to approach our productions and compositions from various perspectives. Often our singer\songwriter has a vocal line and we start from there, other times the vocal may follow a chord progression using the guitar or a song might be found using the instruments on our D.A.W. However, when writing with others, the process is usually a few sessions getting to know the artist. Picking up on their influences, style of writing etc. And we'll take it from there. It can also happen that we start putting idea down after creating a new beat,it really depends on the direction we are goin to move to,and what we do want to achieve .
