Q: What's your strongest skill?

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I usually provide everything creative that the artist thinks is necessary for his song, be it finding new harmonies, restructuring sections, a guitar solo that suits the discourse of the song, among other things.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually have a long first talk with the artist about his references, his personal tastes, his expectations, where he wants to aim with his music. Once this is done, I usually start with a first sketch of his music, at this stage I usually make all the necessary changes until the artist can be satisfied. Then I proceed to produce the song, either looking for better sounds or hiring session musicians (depending on the occasion). In the event that they wish to work with me on mixing and mastering, I usually work in the same way, I try to make the most of the talks and go where the artist wants. In general, in this section I look for the artist to point to a certain Spotify playlist to find an aesthetic within the mix and mastering that suits their expectations.
