For me, music is a powerful medium for expressing emotions, telling stories, and connecting with people on a deeper level. I feel fortunate to be able to do what I love and have the opportunity to share my music with a wider audience. When I see people resonating with my music and connecting with the lyrics, it makes all the hard work and long hours worth it.

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

A: The biggest misconception about what I do is that people think I'm antisocial, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm actually someone who loves being around genuine people and soaking up life experiences. As a songwriter and analyzer, I spend a lot of time observing and analyzing the world around me, and that often requires me to spend time alone with my thoughts. However, I don't see myself as an introvert or someone who shies away from social interactions. In fact, I love collaborating with other artists and working with people who share my passion for music. So, the next time you see me deep in thought or lost in my work, don't assume that I'm antisocial. I'm just someone who takes life in.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

What is the preferred tempo, key, and style of the music you want me to create? Are there any specific artists or songs that you want the music to sound like or be inspired by? What is the timeline and budget for the project? When do you need the song completed, and how much are you willing to pay for my services? Do you have any other specific requirements or preferences for the song? For example, do you want a certain instrument or sound to be featured prominently in the music?

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

A: Research the songwriter's previous work: Before hiring a songwriter, it's important to check their previous work and see if their style and quality of work matches your requirements. Communicate your needs and expectations: Clearly communicate your needs and expectations to the songwriter so they can create a song that meets your specific requirements. Discuss timelines and budgets: Discuss the timeline and budget for the project upfront, so there are no surprises later on. Make sure both parties are clear on the expected delivery date and the total cost of the project. Provide feedback: As the songwriter creates the song, provide constructive feedback along the way. This will help the songwriter understand your vision better and make adjustments as necessary. Protect your rights: Make sure you have a contract in place that outlines the ownership and distribution rights for the song. This will ensure that you own the rights to the song and can use it as you see fit. Build a good relationship: Building a good relationship with the songwriter can lead to future collaborations and projects. Treat the songwriter with respect, and they will likely reciprocate with excellent work and customer service.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: UAD Apollo Twin audio interface, which provides high-quality audio conversion and processing capabilities. For vocals, I use a Slate Digital ML-1 microphone, which is a high-end emulator condenser microphone designed specifically for recording vocals. It has a large diaphragm and a cardioid polar pattern, which helps to minimize background noise and focus on the main source of sound. To monitor my recordings, I use Sennheiser headphones, Audio-Technica headphones, and Presonus E8 XT studio monitors. In addition to my hardware, you also have a collection of software plugins from industry-leading brands like Waves, UAD, and Izotope. To bring everything together, I can work with any DAW , but my preferred DAW is Studio One version 6. This powerful software gives me the flexibility and control I need to create complex mixes, add effects, and manipulate my recordings in a wide range of ways. Finally, I have a soundproof booth and a Kaotica Eyeball, which help to ensure that you capture clean, isolated recordings without any unwanted noise or reflections.

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