Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My personal style lyrically has hints of hip hop, I like to say things i would normally in every day conversation- my opinion is it always sounds more natural that way. Melodically however, i like to be more electronic/alternative. With overall production, i like to mix hip hop with electronic elements.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: First I'll play the track on repeat and voice note any initial melodies that come to mind (usually a chord progression and drums is easiest to get the initial idea) then I'll start with lyrics, usually verses first, then pre chorus, then hook. Once the writing process is done, I can record the lead vocal, then add a separate track for doubles etc/BV/harmony/ad libs.

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

A: I love to jump around between genres. Electronic influenced production is my favorite, but i also love alternative and more urban records as well. Anything from indiepop to hip hop.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Lyricism and cadence. Also being extremely flexible lyrically depending on the vocal style and genre of the record.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I like the element of surprise, I don't like being able to predict lyrics to a song. But i still like to convey messages that are relatable and catchy. I like a song that you can sing along to, but you don't know all the words just by listening once.
