My talent also is brought to a song, I've played guitar for about 15 years now and I understand what works in music
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My typical work process involves listening to references of the particular project I'm trying to create. Whether I'm mixing and mastering or composing and producing, I like to listen references because I feel like it guides the whole project. I like to start with basics also whilst making beats, creating melodies then moving on to drums. Or going about the whole project based on the vibe or mood I'm in. I then submit or share ideas with my client. This is the most important part of the process because it informs me on what the client actually needs. I treat every project like a baby of the client, with care and passion That's when I move to the last process, and that's post-production. Whether mixing or composing I feel like it's very needed in a sense where you take client's feedback to finish the track.
