Music for a living.
I'm a 23 year old producer, mixing and master engineer. I usually introduce myself as the hitmaker or the hookmaker, because I am very good at making any song catchy for anyone. I am also an artist in development so I am aware of all the obstacles an artist could have when creating a song. My job is to make that process easier and get any project to sound professional.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Usually I tend to ask the artist for music references in order for me to know which is the vibe she/he is looking for. Once we have a deep talk about music tastes, I start producing. Searching for the right vibe in order to inspire the artist to write and develop a song. I usually start with some chords and then I move forward.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have very minimalistic gear, yet is enough for me to create amazing hits. Computer, audio interface, Mic, Studio monitors, Midi keyboard, Acoustic and electric guitar and a Bass guitar.

A: I have a very wide music taste. I love fresh, modern and groovy sounds. My favourite artists are Frank ocean, Kaytranada, The weeknd, Lucky daye, Charlie puth and anyone who knows how to make catchy songs. I really like modern producers such as Illaneglo, Mike dean and Dmile.
