EDM Producer & audio engineer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Several projects including my own Drum and Bass project. I'm also mixing and mastering for multiple clients that I can disclose in one on one messages.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital, it's what i'm used to and have the most practice with. I'm very comfortable wth the digital workspace and nowadays analog emulation is amazing. That being said, there's always some fun magic with analog.

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

A: That I'll give 150% to their project and do everything in my power to make their sonic vision a reality.

A: Collaborating with other artists and really diving in to the vibe that they're trying to achieve. Delivering a final master that they can be proud of and confidently move forward with is super rewarding.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: If they have any reference tracks, how willing they are for me to make small adjustments and if they want me to strictly stick to the idea that they have, or if they're willing for more creative mixing and mastering techniques/production.

A: Be clear with what your vision is, and learn the proper vocabulary to communicate your vision as best you can.

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

A: I've been doing this for 13 years now, professionally for the past 5.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style depends on the vibe i'm going for. Within a lot of my own productions I like complexity and hard hitting dramatic elements. However that's not the case with everything I do, it depends on the vibe and mood. Sometimes simplicity is really needed.

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

A: Skrillex, boring answer but he's the og of so much of modern electronic music. Even though his sound has changed so much, he's always on the cutting edge of whatever he does.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Sample selection, sample selection is everything. Nowadays with the tools available and the know-how you can really craft your sounds into anything you want, but good sample selection makes the whole process ten times easier. You can tell the difference between an experienced producer and an inexperienced one instantly by their sample selection.

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

A: Most commonly clients hire me for mixing and mastering.
