Producer / Songwriter / Mixer

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

A: Typically, my compositions lean towards highly melodic and easily accessible songs. I place a strong emphasis on rich and complex harmonies, which happens to be my favorite aspect of music. I enjoy incorporating a diverse range of styles into my work.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I believe my greatest strength lies in comprehending the context of each song and providing the most fitting treatment for each circumstance. With experience across various genres and a willingness to transcend genre boundaries, I consider myself objective and open in the production and creation of a song. My broad range of influences and tastes contributes to this versatility.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I'm not particularly inclined to impose a distinctive mark when producing a song. While there's an inevitable unconscious influence, my priority is always to do what best serves the song, irrespective of external factors. I cherish the art of crafting and producing songs, akin to a painter creating a masterpiece. I am deeply invested in the process, especially when I believe the idea is strong and holds potential.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: As an artist, I consistently prioritize starting with the composition and the core idea. When working as a producer for someone else and the composition is already completed, I enjoy initiating with basic production concepts. As the process unfolds, my focus shifts towards mixing and ensuring each element harmonizes well within the song. Typically, there's a final session where I add intricate details, refine transitions, and incorporate effects. While the last stage generally involves the final master, I remain attentive to the overall picture. If something doesn't work during the mastering phase, I'm open to revisiting the initial production phase to make necessary changes.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I currently operate in a professional, acoustically treated studio where my focus is primarily on mixing and mastering. Additionally, I have a home studio where I feel more inspired and find it conducive to working on creative ideas. I'm not particularly drawn to elaborate studios, and I don't believe one necessarily needs to work in such a setting to produce a good song.

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

A: I am deeply inspired by several UK artists, particularly Jacob Collier and Jordan Rakei. These artists greatly influence me on both a personal and artistic level. They are individuals who grasp the significance of every stage in the process of releasing a high-quality song, and they go beyond being just singers or performers.

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

A: The most common job I undertake, and the one I consider my specialty, is crafting excellent songs. Whether involved in the initial composition process or refining pre-existing compositions, I thoroughly enjoy working on production, both at a foundational level and delving into intricate details and finishing touches. Consequently, I typically handle the mixing of the songs and add the final touch to the master. For me, each of these stages is integral to the same process, and I view them all as equally important.
