Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I've produced many things that I'm proud of, but one in particular was a track for my dear friend Becko called "Loose Lips Sink Ships." During one of his live performances, Mike Shinoda (the lead singer of Linkin Park) commented on the track, saying "This song is a hit, a really well-produced track!" Needless to say, it made me proud and gave me the key to continue making music every day.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A soundtrack that will be released on Netflix the next year.
