Singing / production / mixing

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I love both — digital gives me speed and flexibility, analog gives me grit and glue. But let’s be real: in modern vocal production, digital is where the power is — as long as you know how to humanize it.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: You’ll get vocals or production that’s not only high quality — but emotionally locked in. I’m here to elevate your vision and deliver clean, creative, professional work that you’ll be proud to release

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: That moment when a song suddenly becomes real. Whether I’m writing, singing, or producing, I live for that magic click — when everything lines up and you just know it’s going to move people.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Q: Can you sound like [insert artist]? A: If it’s a reference, absolutely. But my goal is to bring your sound to life — not just copy someone else’s. I use reference points as launch pads, not limits.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That I just show up and “sing pretty.” I’m a full-spectrum creative — from writing and vocal production to tracking, editing, comping, and mixing. There’s a lot of invisible work behind a clean vocal take or polished track.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: -What mood or feeling do you want people to have when they hear this? -What’s your vision for where this song could live (playlist, sync, live, etc)? -Do you have reference tracks for tone, delivery, or production style?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Trust your ears and your gut. Chemistry matters. Look for someone whose voice or production moves you — and whose work ethic matches your vision. Great sound is only half the job. Communication and commitment are the rest.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My laptop, Neumann mic, Apollo Twin interface, iLok (because licenses matter!), and a gold-plated XLR — because the signal chain doesn’t stop just because I’m in survival mode.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started as a singer and theater performer, trained in classical and contemporary vocals, then transitioned into full production and engineering. I got my start working closely with super producer Jerry Wonda, best known for launching the Fugees and producing for major-label artists. That mentorship shaped my approach to songwriting, vocal production, and arranging with commercial depth. Since then, I’ve worked with indie artists and major-label producers across genres, and I’ve been recording and engineering for over 8 years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: A blend of ethereal, soulful, and modern. I can go from Mariah-level belts to soft, breathy intimacy depending on the track. Vocally, I’m adaptable — but I always keep it real.

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

A: I’d love to work with Imogen Heap — not just because of her vocals, but because of how she blends innovation and emotional storytelling. Her use of technology, harmony, and vocal layering is genius-level — she turns production into performance. I’m also drawn to the engineering brilliance of Skrillex, especially how he modulates vocals and creates space for them to cut through heavy mixes. And I’ve always admired the theatrical intensity of Freddie Mercury — someone who could embody a song completely. Collaborating with artists who push sonic boundaries while staying deeply expressive is where I thrive.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Stack less, process more intentionally. A few perfectly placed harmonies with the right EQ and automation do more than 10 sloppy layers.

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

A: Pop, alt-pop, commercial R&B, and cinematic soul. I’ve also done sync-friendly pop and toplined for hip-hop and dance producers. My background is in musical theater and operatic training.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Translating vague ideas into powerful, finished vocals. Whether it’s a scratch idea or a nearly done track, I know how to elevate it without overstepping the artist’s vision.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring texture. Whether it’s haunting harmonies, sultry toplines, or crisp vocal stacks, I make sure the emotion hits without overcomplicating the track. I know when to shine and when to support the song. But I’m also able to lead the song as a strong centerpiece if that’s what is needed.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: If I’m toplining or vocal producing, I usually start with emotion — melody comes first. From there I craft lyrics that hit hard but still feel natural. I love layering lush harmonies and dialing in mix-ready vocals that translate across genres. Everything I deliver is tight, expressive, and ready to go. Quality and vibe are something I take very seriously.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I track vocals using a Nuemann U87 through a clean Neve 1073 analog preamp into an Apollo to Protools or Logic, depending on the session. My space is optimized for both vocal clarity and creative production — it’s built for fast, inspired work. I also work out of top-tier commercial studios when needed. I have other mics upon request.

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

A: I’m deeply inspired by producers like Jerry Wonda, who I’ve had the privilege of working closely with — his ability to blend live instrumentation with bold, genre-spanning pop sensibilities continues to shape how I approach production and performance. Artists like Imogen Heap and Lady Gaga influence the way I think about vocal layering, sonic identity, and emotional texture. I also pull from the storytelling depth of Emmylou Harris, the soul of Amy Winehouse, and the vulnerability-meets-power aesthetic of artists like Florence Welch, BANKS, and Lana Del Rey. I’m drawn to creators who bend genres and still hit people in the chest.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: On a day to day I am a featured vocalist on projects that I am booked to write. I am a busy recording engineer and get booked for writing, vocal producing, production, and background harmonies.
