Producer

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I am currently working on building an audience for my next single. It's difficult to receive recognition in a field this competitive but I am posting on TikTok asa much as possible and looking into promotion services that can help me have enough people to release my next project to.

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

A: A dream come true would be to work with Zayn. Growing up I've listened to One Direction a lot but always found his voice and his runs the most impressive. After he decided to leave the band, Pillowtalk, his debut single as a solo artist, is still my favorite song to this day. I love his rnb style of vocals and his production is very dark and experimental which I am a huge fan of. I've tried replicating sounds but I could never get it as good as him. His vocal range is unbelievable and I've always supported him and looked up to him as a young Asian artist. It'd be an honor to work with him some day.

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

A: I usually work on pop music. I grew up always listening to the radio and grasped on to everything I listened to. Pop music is universal and I want my music to heard all over the world where people can relate to it in any way they feel.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is tracking guitars. I've played guitar for 10+ years and I feel like I can track guitars in a way that will most definitely catch the ears of listeners.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I think I bring flavor to a song. I always find ways to spice things up and give the song a good feel that can resonate with the artist and the meaning.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Depending on the type of production my client decides that they want, I will start with a format/layout of the song and take notes of what my client wants. From there, I'll build their track. I'll start with chords of some sort that fits what the client desires. I usually focus on making the chorus first. So I'll track guitars and keys together to make sure I can make the chords fit. I then add layers to fill the gaps and track a bass either with my bass guitar or a preset to fill out the low end. After that I will work not eh drums and direct all of it to build the rest of the track.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I am currently working with a home studio. I have Logic Pro X and an AVID interface. I have electric guitars, a bass guitar, and an electronic drum set that I can use to record tracks right into Logic Pro. I also have a Rode microphone which I use to record all of my vocals on.

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

A: There are many musicians and production professionals that inspire me. People such as Charlie Puth, Calvin Harris, and Disclosure are some of the top professionals on my list because of how addictive their sound is. Their sound is universal where people of any background can enjoy it. Along with this, their sound is very mainstream. It is bound to be a hit every time these guys release a track. I do my best to model their production styles because it is proof that their efforts succeed. Other musicians such as Misha Mansoor and Mark Holcomb from the band Periphery are some of my favorite guitarists as well. Being an open-minded producer, I listen everything from country to metal. Listening to Misha and Mark inspired me to expand my knowledge on guitar and try things that mainstream music does not have. Another name in the industry is Mike Dean. I absolutely love his approach on synths and the types of tones he creates to fit songs that are trending worldwide. Working with big names such as Travis Scott and The Weeknd, Mike Dean inspired me to experiment with sound and see things differently rather than the traditional way. I try my best to take things from all of my favorite musicians to make something that fits me and my vision.
