Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: It depends on if I am producing it or just tracking it. Either way my goal is to make sure its the best it can be.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: We are up a windy little country road in the Napa Valley, tucked away in the redwoods. The studio runs Pro Tools, has a great sounding room for live recording as well as a nice dead spot for VO.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Anyone who comes in and rips on their instrument. From guitar to violin... We always appreciate what amazing players add to our music.
