I joined the music industry in Dallas in Summer of 2015. I was very nervous and excited; I never knew I would carry this feeling with me still in this present day. I aspire primarily to get more into music publishing.
I specialize in pop songwriting and singing, but it doesn't hold me back from learning other genres. When I joined the music industry in 2015, I expected to become a pop singer/performer. After realizing my love and privacy in the studio, I decided I wanted to make a killing being a session singer/songwriter.
In the first three months of my career, I sent vocals to five different countries all around Europe. On average, my week looks like tackling three to five songs depending who decides to work with me. I have a strict schedule pertaining my projects and make sure I send bounces as fast as possible so that way I can get to the next thought or idea.
Sometimes recording never feels like work to me. Often times I look at a song like a puzzle and wonder how I can make it one complete picture. Either I take an idea from the producer or I reflect on my own. Either way, I love the concept of making something meaningful and something relatable.

A: I don't, but I'm sure everyone's doing a good job!

A: It really varies, most of it is engineering questions as far as what I use, if I compress, if I eq, if I autotune.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I will get it in the first try. Rarely I get so lucky it's a complete masterpiece if one shot. It takes a little patience and if you're not feeling it, I don't mind revision. It's your project.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask them the mood of the song, genre if it's not given, and sub genre if I'm at a loss with the tempo.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Staying consistent and interactive. Most of the time I will get perplexed by something and I have to make sure you're digging the work so far. I seek approval badly to make sure the song is okay.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Most of the time clients say I remind them of a certain someone. I take advantage of that and add familiarity. I bring a young mind to a song, I also go for pop diva in most of my work.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Most of the time I'll send a complete track and I'll seek guidance what I can fix. After that I send bounces of the verse and choruses separate to seek review. If it passes I further into the song with harmonies and ad-libs to add a build to the song for review. If everything checks out I combine it all together and send the stems I need to the producer.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I record from my bedroom. Everything has been a hammy-down from some great friends in music publishing as far as my mics and tascam. I use a spacepro vocal shield, logic x pro and that's really all.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Production wise, I look to my friends who help me. Singing wise, I look up to a lot of singers. I try to keep cycle of three trending artists and combine that with my own style.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Normally I get a prog. house song, I've noticed it's been taking over lately. I get timings of when to sing and when to end it. I send updates to make sure a client is down with the idea or not, if not, I think of something better.
