Certified Singer & Songwriter

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: My debut album, which is so exciting!

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Very catchy and pop, but I like to add in some other (sub)genres to give it some depth.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Always get a second (and third) pair of ears to listen to your work, because when you listen to something over and over again, a fresh pair of ears might hear (or miss) things you never noticed! Same goes for mixing and mastering, I always recommend getting two different engineers for this!

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I mostly do vocals and songwriting for Pop, R&B, Soul, HipHop, EDM and Dance, but I do love exploring and working on other genres.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I always try to really make sure I understand the vision before starting, and discussing exactly what I will be delivering. Then I always send at least 3 updates throughout the process: 1 when I get into the studio, 1 when I have a demo ready for you to listen to and request any revisions, and 1 when I finish your project and deliver everything! Of course there is always room for questions in between or after.

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

A: Everyone who follows their dreams and doesn't stop going after what they want!

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Analog can't be beaten, but digital I can take anywhere!

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Absolutely everything as cliché as that might sound!

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

A: I've been in the studio since I was about 16/17 years old, writing and singing. When I was 19, I went to one of the most exclusive schools for musicians in my country, and graduated 3 years later as a vocalist and songwriter. I've been constantly trying new things, practicing, writing with other people and developing my skills, to the point where I now can confidently say I am a well trained writer and vocalist! Though I will always continue to grow and learn because experience is the best practice.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: You of course! ;)

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Ability to adapt (quickly). If one thing doesn't work, we try something else, and we do that until you are completely happy.

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

A: Songwriting, Vocal Recording, Vocal Mixing

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Probably pricing, since this varies a lot and really depends on the project scope. I am always happy to explain however and propose an offer based on your specific needs. It's usually the songwriting where I really look at your project and details to offer you the best deal, because the price for vocals is pretty much always the same.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: A unique sound, catchy lyrics and melodies, and a vision. I always go the extra mile for a project to really make sure it lives up to it's potential.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Working with a UAD Apollo Twin interface, Neumann TLM102 or Shure SM7B Microphone with a Apple Macbook Pro on Logic Pro X.

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

A: I will always guarantee quality and 100% commitment. Your project is my priority, and I will always make sure that I deliver the best work I can. I'm a perfectionist and love to make people happy, so I will give my all for every single gig, no exceptions.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That it's 'easy money' or 'easy work'. If I was in it for the money I would've chosen another career and if it was easy I wouldn't do it! I don't mind explaining it to people though, since often it's out of general curiosity and that's okay. After all it isn't your typical 9-5 job you learn about in school!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: Most importantly their wishes and what they are expecting. I believe transparency and communication is key. I want as much information as you can give me so I can make sure the project is as close to these expectations as possible. However, if I believe what you're expecting might not be exactly what I can deliver, I will also tell you that and we can discuss what IS possible.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: If you have found someone you would like to work with, contact them and ask them everything you want to know. Never hold back or feel uncomfortable when something is unclear or when you're unfamiliar with a topic we're discussing, because I will gladly take the time to answer questions, advise and clear up any confusion. There are no stupid questions and you're never bothering me! In fact, I'm a talker, so I love to share!
