Professional Music Producer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: My solo song “29 Reasons” by Lil Rx is the most personal song I’ve written and performed. It’s about my wife leaving me after 12 years and the emotional toll it’s taken on my life.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I’m currently producing an rnb track for a signed artist. I’ve sent him some demos and he is thrilled with them !

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: This is my first venture on this site, so untill I find someone i admire, I’ll leave this question unanswered.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both. Analog gear gives tracks and performances a “life” and color that the digital realm can’t quite replicate. On the other hand, digital offers more flexibility and is more forgiving and cost effective then analog gear. I can get an awesome digital emulation of an analog piece of gear at a fraction of the cost.

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

A: Ill deliver on time every time, and if their is any issue, or your unhappy with my service, I will do whatever I need to to make sure your satisfied with my service.

A: The ability to create and express myself freely without having a traditional 9-5 job. It gives me time to spend with my son.

A: Did those tattoos hurt? And yes, yes they hurt very bad but we’re worth it. And no, I don’t regret them.

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

A: That it’s easy to find rappers or singers to sell beats to. It’s been an extremely tedious and long road to get to where I am today, and I still have room for growth !

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What style or vibe are you looking for in this song? Are their any artist you’d like to sound like?

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

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

A: My acoustic guitar, a guitar pick, a notebook, a pen, and my bible.

A: I work on all types of music. I was a touring musician for years playing guitar and drums in signed alternative rock and metal bands.
