A: That's it's all fun and games. Being a pro level musician should be taken just as seriously as any other respected occupation.

A: My style is a blend of my favorite genres. Pop, Country, Hip Hop, and Rock influences all shine through in the various projects I've worked on.

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

A: I'd like to work with Jameson Rodgers. He fully encompasses what is means to be singer/songwriter. He's very strong in both areas.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Get in a good headspace before entering a project. Don't be scared to walk away and come back to a project. It's better to take multiple sessions than to force a session just for the sake of getting it completed fast. It just leads to really sloppy work.

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

A: Typically country, but my experience in the country subgenres is extensive. Anything from rock, pop, traditional, and even rap based country.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is my vocal power. I can go after those big notes that create a "moment" within the song.

A: I bring a realness and genuineness. I bring a more raw unique sound that makes the track stand out above the crowd.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I like to listen to a track a few times and get a feel for it. I want to really connect with it beyond a surface level before I dive into it. I want to bring the most out of the song that I possibly can.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I run Protools off of my iMac with the industry standard SM7B mic

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

A: Morgan Wallen, Hardy, Luke Combs, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bryan Adams, Joey Moi, Cody Johnson, Sam Hunt
