Singer-Songwriter, Producer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: A project that I have worked on that I'm super proud of has not been yet released to the public. This song has powerful lyrics and it's super personal to me. It's called Millionaire Problems and it will definitely live up to its name when others catch on to the meaning behind it.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I am currently writing, recording, and producing my EP. I was originally going to make a album with 12 songs but decided to opt for an EP and release the rest as singles.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Being a bedroom pop artist, digital is ultimately my best friend. I never felt like anything was compromised, so it just feels right.

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

A: I promise to give 100% every time. I know when tasks start to feel more like a job and less like a fun hobby, things can start getting a little less engaging. I don't want to ever be the person to let that reflect on my work.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I feel free. It's simple as that.

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

A: I can't make a bad production sound good and I can't make a bad vocalist sound good. I am not a vocal coach by any means.

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

A: Know exactly what you want out of your providers. Try not to be vague and give a lot of details please. This helps in the long run because it puts you both on the same page.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: A Neumann mic, MacBook, audio interface, Pastilles, and internet.

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

A: I was originally a classical musician for 8 years. In these years I was a musical composer/arranger for wind bands. In 2019 I switched my focus to electric music and pop culture as an artist and songwriter. I used my composing skills and music theory knowledge to hop right into producing.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style lies directly in the origins of pop. Nothing too out of the box here.

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

A: I would love to collaborate with Lil Nas X. He's culturally amazing and I feel like there needs to be more people in that community as front runners in the music industry.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Just do it.

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

A: I usually work on very up beat pop music.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is coming up with top liner melodies.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I believe I can bring originality to a production. Many people want to sound like another artist when it comes to writing but, I love sounding like me.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually just sing random things to myself and record them into my voice memos app. I then play it back while I began the production process. After I got the base of a song produced I write the rest of my lyrics and modify the production as needed.

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

A: I will always practice perfecting my audio mixes because of engineers like Serban Ghenea. Everything I hear from him is sonically amazing and I love how the vocals perform in his mixes. Faouzia is my favorite artist to date. Her voice is absolutely amazing and I love her songwriting and productions. Me and her have a lot in common because we're both audio engineering/production students and singer-songwriters.
