As a full production, my track "in This Atmosphere" and my single Essence with Aldous, which ended up on Above & Beyond ABGT radio twice, and my other track "Other Side" With UOAK are the ones I am so proud of. I put my soul into these, and I'm so happy with the result. As a singer, Songwriter and lyricist, "Leave All Behind" which was supported by legendary Andrew Rayel and Aly & Fila.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Well, thanks to the technology, the difference between analog and digital gear is getting less and less every day. But let's be honest, being able to have your hand on an analog one is a fantastic vibe!

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: I honestly haven't came across one yet. But one that I heard a lot about, was the idea of thinking that if something was done in a short amount of time, then it should have been easy! But the fact is, if it's done quickly and has high quality, then it's valuable and comes from years of experience.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: a powerful laptop, a pair of really good speaker monitors, great headphones, a mic, and an archive of milions of songs.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: About writing melodies and Lyrics, I remember I've been doing that since I was 10 years old. It's like I hear the simplest sound, and I come up with the right melody for it. As a singer, gotta say since the age of 14. And after that, thanks to having no options but to do it myself, I had to expand my skills in music production, recording, mixing, and mastering.

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

A: Progressive House, Melodic and Organic House, EDM, Synthwave, Pop, and R&B are the types of songs I usually work on.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: For vocals: I usually come up with the melody first, and then I'll choose the best words to fit that Melody. Recording harmonies and ad-libs of course is one of the most fun parts of the job. If the lyrics are already written by someone else, no prob at all. I won't make even the smallest changes without your permission. For Music Production and Vocals: It all starts with understanding exactly what you have in mind. It can be a rough mix or a reference track. Keeping that in mind, I'll add my own creativity and the artist's flavor to the song to have a great combination of everything. I also do mixing and mastering while I'm making a song. So in the end, it'll be either a fully mixed track or at least a rough mix, depending on what the artist wants. Mix and Mastering: I start by listening to a rough mix or a reference track. then, level matching the instruments after organizing them would be my first technical step, keeping in mind what the artist wants. The rest of the work depends on many factors and your desires.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: We know that nowadays, anywhere can be a studio for a producer/musician thanks to technology. We've heard many amazing hits that came out from a laptop in a bedroom. I'll spend most of my time in my own home studio, and when needed, I'll take the work to a more professional studio if there's something I want to specifically triple-check in a certain way.

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

A: I assume that it's a project of my own. first, I'll do my best to understand exactly what you have in mind to achieve. it can be technical or artistic, it can be solving a problem or creating something. good understanding and good communication combined with my experience and work will lead to a great result.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: to consider your song or project as if it's mine and treat it the same way. In other words, putting all my best into work.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: It's all about music.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: a general question like "how much making a song would cost?". my answer to that is "That depends on what type of song we're talking about. the scope of work can be different when it comes to the details. that's why again, I'm saying a reference track or a rough mix would make the communication much easier.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: a reference track or a rough mix so I have a better understanding of what they have in mind regarding the style, vibe, feeling, and the final result.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: help your provider to understand exactly what you're looking for. it can be as simple as mentioning a reference track that in the end, you want to sound close to that. time is a super valuable asset to all of us, so let's respect that and make sure we'll get to the best final result together.

A: Writing Melodies and turning ideas into a song. Being a Topliner, Vocalist, Music Producer, Singer & Songwriter, are the things I'm busy with the most at the end of the day.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Identity and Story.

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