Singer, Pianist, Producer

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Sometimes less is more. During the production process, in the back of my mind is always - how does this choice elevate the song? Or contrast the songwriting? There there is a careful balance to be struck between experimentation and structure.

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

A: Most commonly I work on tracks that feature vocals

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My listening skills. As a musician with a background in Jazz, I’m good at identifying patterns within music and seeing through this lens is what allows me to analyse the DNA of music that inspires me and incorporate that into my own work.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: As a self producing solo artist, I have experience in all stages of music making (from songwriting to arrangement to production). I have the tools to bring a lot of what’s needed for any given project: Production Mixing Session Singing and/or Keyboard Composition

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My top priority is honouring the creative vision of whoever I’m working with. I enjoy starting with a prompt, a brief, a reference track. This is what allows me to focus my creative energy and kickstart the process.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: This is a small studio, well suited for working with Solo Artists and Singers. It is also a fantastic space for composition and mixing. I record and mix everything ‘in the box’ through my SSL2. No fancy analog equipment here (I rely solely on VST plugins).

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

A: Bruno Mars, Tame Impala, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, Charlie Puth, Anderson Paak, Thundercat, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder

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

A: Producing Pop Music - at every stage of the process (songwriting, arrangement, production, mixing). I don’t think of Pop as a genre but more as a structure that favours melody, catchiness and energy that builds quickly.
