A: I'm always working on a remix or new original project. My music is singles based.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What direction do you have in mind? What is the end goal for the mix? Club? Radio? Do you have a plan to market the remix or production?
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I got into remixing in the nineties in San Francisco where I fine tuned my chops at 3rd Floor Productions now Moulton Studios.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: For remixes, I start by listening to the original song and form an idea of the direction I want to go in. I always start with the kick, build the drums and start placing the vocals. I then start to layer in chords and soundscapes and finally crashes and breaks. Original production is very much the same, only, I don't always have the vocals to work with right away.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Dave Lee, Michael Gray, Dr. Packer, Booker T, all things Nile Rogers.....to name a few.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're looking for something specific, please make sure you have listened to my production and it fits your sound aesthetic. If you're not sure what you want, be prepared to take a leap of faith and come on the journey with me.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Whatever works best for the job, however, I mostly work in the digital domain as I find it to be fast and powerful.

A: Remixes and vocal production
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I look for the song within the song and bring all it’s best elements forward.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The bulk of my work and what I’m known best for is remixing. As a vocalist myself, I really enjoy working with the vocals of a song and finding a new interpretation of the original. I may chop them up or keep them intact or more often, a little of both. Sometimes it’s just a matter of bumping’ up the beat and sometimes a whole new chord structure is developed. I always let the song lead me to the direction I'll take.
