Interview with Dravos
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'm proud of most of the work I've done. But there was one that I was a mixing and mastering engineer for Duo HopeInfect that went viral and I love to hear that. I'm proud of several ghost productions I've done, but I can't name names because of ethics.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently working on repositioning my career.
