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

It's beautiful and a true experience the artist brings you through. He's on tour and his squad is the definition of DOPE. Check him out!

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Top secret stuff that I'm SO PUMPED for you to hear!!!

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

A: I always say this is really the "Magic Industry" because you bring me onto a project so you don't have to worry about a thing when it comes to the Mixing, Mastering, Immersive, or all three!! The misconception is that I'm not going to produce your record. All of your production decisions you made for the song should be in the files you send. However there are times when I can add additional production & arrangements when I truly feel it will only help the song, I let you know if I do. If you want me to add transitions risers, drops, or specific moments let me know and I'll feel it out, your song might not need it at all! I don't tune vocals. lol BUT I got some people for you!

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

A: Love the takes and recordings you have before you send them to me. No matter how much of an expert or how many pieces of expensive gear anyone will use on your record, that's not the reason we love it. You need to be content with everything you send me and know that I am here for YOU to help your art and vision shine.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: We talk and evaluate the needs and goals for your project. Along side the files you send I request the most recent version of your song(s) that you've been listening to. I'll listen to that A LOT to understand the energy and get my direction. My assistant prepares the files and I begin the session. My first submission to you is my opinion of the record.
