Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: What I bring to the song is support. As an artist myself, I understand that an artist's vision may not always be conventional, and I embrace non-traditional approaches to music creation. My role is to honor the artist's vision first and then add the professional touch that makes the music appealing to the everyday listener.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work process begins with listening to the entire track first, as I prefer to get a feel for the overall vibe and avoid over-correcting when it’s unnecessary. I then use Melodyne to handle pitch correction, ensuring everything sits perfectly in tune. After that, I apply EQ and compression to shape the track’s sound, bringing out the best elements. Finally, I add reverb and delays to a bus signal to create space and depth, giving the mix a polished, professional finish.

A: I mix tracks to your exact preferences, ensuring they’re ready for radio and major streaming platforms.
