Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The creative freedom and that I am able to elevate the clients songs.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask them what they want in therir song (What energy for the bass or if they want athmospheres and Pads or a catchy lead line for the keys)
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Explain straight away what you are looking for in the musician, so you are guaranteed to get waht you want faster without many revisions and misunderstandings.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I am playing the bass for 6 years and played in several bands, writing many songs. with the keyboard i started ten years ago in school, where i took piano lessons for 6 years, also playing in bands, writing and recording songs.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I would describe it as an energetic approach but not overdo anything. I focus more on simplicity and groove that sits well with the song, rather then play overly complicated things where they are not neccesary.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on punk-rock and pop-rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My ability to comprehend what a song might be missing and translating my ideas onto my instruments.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: im bringing groovy basslines that give a strong fundament to the song and athmospheric layers or leads that cut through on the keys.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I am listening to the song i recieve and take notes, what I think is missing. If I am recording bass I am looking for the energy of the bassline I am going to record: Do I want it to be simple or more groovy. If the client tells me in what direction he wants the song to go, I'm taking that as a base and find waht I am going to record that suits his description. For keys, I am listening if the songs need a keyboard/synth lead or melody or if I am going to record layers to give it some depth or athmosphere.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I most commonly record bass and keys on my clients songs.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: For the bass I am inspred by bassists like Joe Dart, Mikey Way and Leland Sklar. For the Keyboard I am taking inspiration from Jon Lord, Steve Porcaro and Stevie Wonder.
