I've been working about 7 years on diffrent kind of musical generes, I've done a lot of sound design, mixing engineering, My strength is the pop music like funk pop, R&B, neo soul, urban pop (reggaeton, trap, hip-hop).

I love the organic and analog sound, I adapt to any musical genre and to the requirements of any project I am working on. I try to deliver the work as soon as possible, but without lowering its quality, because I know how valuable time and quality is for us producers.
