Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring a fresh perspective, having worked in so many different genres and in many commercial settings, I draw from a huge pool of different experiences. I'm also super open to learning, I believe I've gained so much from the people I work with.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I have a briefing with the artist/client I'm working with, I learn their objectives for the project - references, requirements, specifications etc. I usually do a rough sketch of the project to outline the overall journey. Then I go into individual elements and work to get each one perfect.

A: I have a powerful Apple Mac, a variety of mics (Neumann, Shure, Rode), a big catalog of soft synths and in-the-box mixing tools.

A: I have a wide range of experience, so I find myself completing different types of projects all the time. I originally started as a track producer covering multiple commercial genres, I then began working as a topliner and now I feel equally comfortable in both fields.
