Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My SoundCloud remix artist persona as Little Miss Gorey and the work I've done thus far.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Working on this profile, and finishing my Associate's Degree at Scottsdale Community College with a major in Music Production.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not yet, I'm still meeting people on here. I'm sure I will meet some great clients, though. I guess I can recommend myself, as well.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Depends on what needs to get done.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: They will be satisfied with my work. If not, I will re-do my production.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The process of music creation and how it fascinates me.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you do "X, Y, and Z" for me? The answer is, probably yes.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I use samples in everything. I don't. I especially don't use samples in my original soundtracks. I want to make them as suitable as possible for sync licensing for films, television shows, and video games. I only use samples in my remix work when appropriate.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What *specifically* is the mood/theme/genre you are seeking for this piece?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be specific and detailed in what you want for your project. Don't be vague and unprofessional.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Nothing else? Well, alright. My studio headphones, my guitar/bass, my Ableton Live Push 2, and my Roland JD-Xi.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I was originally a remix artist on SoundCloud, then I decided to go into soundtrack production. I have international endorsements in the music industry from Alan Hyatt, Deuce, Johnny Massacre, TwinVulcan, Poniiboi, Left Boy, DJANS, Blaya Dub Playa, Secret Broadcast, Lowline, Trash_Audio, and Alessandro Cortini.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Very experimental soundtrack-ish, if that makes any sense. Also shifts from alternative rock to electronic dubstep from time to time.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd work with Trent Reznor, Hans Zimmer, or Tyler Bates for my soundtracks. If I was doing a remix, though, I'd have to pick Dave Grohl, Sonny Moore, or Rob Swire.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: When in Ableton Live, add a limiter to the master channel so your output is clipped at 0.0 dBs and then it won't "redline" above the hearing pain threshold.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Remixes or Original Soundtracks. Take your pick.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Probably my original soundtracks, from what most people have told me.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Originality and experimentation.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Just get it done. I don't usually keep track of what plugins I use, but my favorite ones are iZotope Trash 2, Nexus 2, and Konkakt 5.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a lot more equipment than I list, but I hardly ever have the need to use it. I have my studio headphones, my guitar/bass, my Ableton Live Push 2, and my Roland JD-Xi.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Original soundtracks and remix artistry.
