Q: What's your typical work process?

A: As a music producer and songwriter, my typical work involves a multi-faceted approach; first we check the songwriting and arrangement: Crafting the structure of the song, including melody, lyrics, and harmony. We collaborate with artists to get their vision and message and make it as tight as possible. Then we move to Ableton to produce the track, record the instrumental, and edit. I'm a huge fan of grooveboxes/synths/sound design, so we try to give each song a narrative via the sound dynamics throughout the entire song. Then we work on the vocals, if i'm recording we'll be creating tons of little arrangements on the fly to give a lot of movement to the different sections of the song. If i'm not in the studio for the vocal session i'll pass a list of arrangements that i think are necessary to get the best out of the vocal performance. The last step is to balance all elements of the track and prepare it for release, I mix hibryd with gear and plugins, to get the best of both the warm and the precision. If i'm not mixing the project i like to exchange a few messages to mixer beforehand to get everything in place so we get the perfect mix. Each project is unique, but these steps form the core of my work as a music producer tailoring each aspect to the specific needs of the project and the artist’s vision
