I draw on many years of experience and education to be able to work both in the modern digital environment and with live performers.

Work-shopping the melody in the second verse, a compelling string or horn arrangement, audio editing, tuning, and/or sweetening to help your performance shine.

Interview with RAZ

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Lush with an edge
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you have a vision?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Own what you like.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: The chorus from a Juno 60, Dimension D, Moog One, 335, massive speakers.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Indie "Rock/Psych/Electronic/??"
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Problem solving.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Depth. I believe that most any idea can be turned into something special, it might just need to be completely reworked.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Intention is #1, without it things end up uninspired. Once the bones of an idea are captured - whether it's a cool sound, loop, lyric - I like to tease out a basic song structure. Does this song have a bridge? Start on the chorus? I usually end up laying down mumble lyrics as the melody takes shape. Creative production + finalize lyrics, more creative production. Rough mix. Mix, Master. Never listen to it again.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Max Martin, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Quicy Jones, Mark Ronson, Shawn Everett
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
