Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I wouldn't say that I have a typical work process. It depends on the client's needs, the genre, and the song itself. I adapt to what the project requires instead of forcing the project to fit inside my own box, letting the originality and personality of the composer shine through.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have access to two studio spaces. My primary studio has Yamaha HS5 monitors with an Adam Audio Sub7. I also have access to a more common setup with KRK Rokit 8's. This variety gives me multiple perspectives to make sure your track sounds great on any setup.
