A: My Setup just consists of Mac Mini and a Tascam model 24 mixer as my interface and using logic pro as my DAW. the rest are just guitars and cables.

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

A: As far as I've done, I've recorded artists and helped compose melodies/riffs.
