Electronic and EDM Producer

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Just finished my new album "Level 4: Challengers". It was a huge project so right now, I'm just exploring what interests me sonically, seeing what I can do to further my own unique sound.

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

A: I push buttons on a computer all day. That's not entirely true, I try to fit in naps and weekly mental breakdowns in between pushing buttons.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: -What will this project be used for? -How long do you want it to be (and will it loop)? -What's the vibe you're going for?

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

A: Be as specific as possible when asking for what you want! The more details the better and please provide reference tracks!

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

A: Laptop, Headphones, Notebook, Keyboard, my iLok so I can actually use all of my gear...

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I have been playing music ever since I was a little kid. Started on piano and voice and eventually started playing guitar. I got into production

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I focus a lot of interesting chords and melodies! I like making catchy melodies that stay in people's heads forever!

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Madeon, Hyper Potions, or Zedd would be a dream come true! Some smaller artists I'd love to work with are OBLYVN and VGR.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Music theory doesn't help you write good music, it just helps you write good music faster! (Actual tip: if a certain sound isn't cutting through, instead of turning that sound up, turn everything competing with it down.)

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

A: Electronic or EDM music either for artists, games, streamers, or otherwise!

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Songwriting by far! I've been writing music ever since I was in high school and I've taken many classes in songwriting, production, and arranging. That's not to say I can't do anything else, just that this is by far my biggest strength as both a producer and a musician.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I use a lot of creative music theory to add a certain level of complexity to a song without removing it's accessibility. I like adding little things that people might only catch on the 100th listen, whether it be a certain sound or something in the melody or chords.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Get an idea. Outline song structure. Take a nap. Turn equipment on. Stare at DAW, trying not to let my personal demons in. Don't let them in. DON'T LET THEM IN. Song's done!

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Just a small bedroom set up at the moment. Using a MacBook with Ableton Live plugged in to my Apollo Twin X. I use Sennheiser HD650s for headphones and JBL 305s for monitors.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Madeon, Hyper Potions, and Snail's House I'd say are biggest inspirations. I aim to get my personal productions as good and as clean as theirs and I will not stop until I feel as if though I have achieved this! I am also a huge fan of Panic! At The Disco and they definitely inspired the way I write lyrics!

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I usually offer my services anywhere in the songwriting process! This could be making a song from scratch, building a song around someone's melody, to even just simply fixing vocals to mixing. Anything you need help with, I can do!
