Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I've been writing songs for 20+ years so I think I kinda know to turn a good song into a great one.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I try my best to make the song as strong and unique as possible.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My clients send me a piano/vocal track or guitar/vocal and I produce around the acapella. Sometimes I change the chord progressions if needed, the topline and/or lyrics. When it happens I just ask for a slice of the publishing copyright. My goal is to make the song as strong as possible.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Apollo X-Mac BookPro-Mojave Microphone-Fender JazzMaster-Taylor 416ce-Cordoba Nylon-Fender Mustang Bass-Drumkit-Percussions and looooaaddds of plugins...

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

A: I try to always push the envelope, and make music that sounds and feels unique, not just a copy of something that already exists.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I build fully produced instrumental and vocal tracks for my clients, premix and premaster them. The client has to provide the vocalist but I can wrap a demo version of the male topline if needed.
