Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: In terms of composition, my strongest skill would be arrangement of the chords. I like to break the monotony of the same chords or chord progression used in specific genres. In terms of production, I can recreate a song very well after listening to what the client sends as a reference song. This way, I give them what they've been listening to and are expecting from their own song.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I like to induce a lot of sounds out of it's intended genre. I keep it subtle so that it isn't highlighted. This brings about a unique factor in the songs I produce for my clients.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work process for a song production is: I ask for a rough recording (if any) of the song from the client. One VERY IMPORTANT thing - I ask for a REFERENCE SONG of the same genre they are looking for. If they live nearby, I call them over for a rough vocal recording which helps me then to produce the track around it. Then, I send rough unmixed draft to the client, and take their feedback on the production. If there's additions to be made in terms of instruments, or anything that needs to be remove, it is done now before I start with the mixing of the tracks.
