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

A: Getting the rest of our music on spotify. Admin work SUCKS

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That it's easy. It's not. It looks like it, but it's not. Producer cookups you see on the internet are edited. There is usually a lot of sweat, caffeine, cursing, regret, and a constant oscillation between "this will be the next Beethoven 5th symphony" and "oh god it sounds like sh*t"

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: In one word: Vibes. I try to create a scenario with each and every one of my songs, i want do deliver an escapist experience to allow anybody to dissociate from this world temporarily, to slip in a reality of enjoyment which leaves them a tiny bit better than before.

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

A: Andrew Scheps and Pino Pischetola, as mastering engineers, to steal as many of their secrets as possible, Hozier, LP, the Weeknd, TheFatRat, Aaron Smith, The Chainsmokers, Halsey. Ark Patrol, Go_A, Chakra and Kenshi Yonezu as a producer/ co-producer because i love their works and it would be an honor to feature with any one of them in a song.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: There is not a "correct" way to do things. Don't listen to Reddit. If somebody tells you something is done the wrong way, but you like it that way, it's dine the right way, even if it was an accident. Lie about it and say it was intentional. Nobody will care if it sounds good.

A: Improvisation. 90% of the great ideas start with a mistake, don't they?

Q: What do you bring to a song?
