Nothing

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I'm always trying to write my own music. And at some point, I intend to finish this album.

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

A: I have a good number of inspirations. Prince, Kate Bush, and David Bowie are probably my top three artists (still looking for The Sensual World on vinyl). When it comes to production/mixing my main inspirations are Brian Eno, Quincy Jones, Andrew Scheps, Tchad Blake, Tom Elmhirst, and Jimmy Douglass.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My Brooklyn apartment doubles as my studio. It's small and cozy, and hopefully puts people at ease.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both? Analog is expensive, but is also very very necessary when recording into a computer. You'll never match the level of the top artists by simply plugging a SM7b into an Apollo. Having good preamps and compressors in the recording process is not only better, but more fun. Once it's in the computer I like mixing in the box since it allows me to travel around and still work.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Be lazy up until the time when you really need to work hard.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Like anyone else, I bring my ears and my musical sensibilities. I also bring years of studying music of different genres which will go towards shaping your music to best fit its world.
