Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Mostly i want to find the balance where a vocal and the sound design can make you feel, adding on the right place the emotion that you want to express, having the illusion where even if there is not a vocal, there is also a sound trying to reply or add something to the conversation
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First of all i try to find the best chord progression that i want for my project and it depends on the emotion that i want to express. Making a loop on it, i try to write some lyrics for it.

A: My project is inspired by some of the electronic artist in the world, such as Kaytranada, Disclosure, Odesza, Rüfüs Du Sol and many others, focusing on the sound design and also many structures for making a really good experience on the project. For postproduction, i'm not a fan of an specific person, i'm a fan on finding new processes that can really work for my workflow.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: First of all, i give the confidence to all the people for letting me know if something is wrong or good. We are working together on making the project sound cool, not sacrificing some thing for other ones, there is always a way for making it sound good without forgetting the concept that the project was created with.
