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

A: I usually work on Electronic Dance, lofi Hip-Hop, Pop, or EDM.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is allowing each instrument in a song to carry its own weight. I make sure nothing gets lost and every detail you want heard to come through.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I prefer a very clean style of production that makes songs sound as professional as possible. I can help make your melodies really stand out, provide a song that sounds full of life, and make sure that no instruments get left out in the mix.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I like to listen to the song exactly as it's sent to me, then work on each individual track to make sure they all come together perfectly. Once I'm done with that, I'll listen to it on my phone, earbuds, and in my car to make sure it sounds great in multiple environments. Finally, I'll come back to it the next day to make sure I'm still satisfied with the final recording.

They send me their finished tracks and I make it sound studio quality and ready for all kinds of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
