Mixing + Mastering

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

A: I will listen to you, clarify and understand your artistic vision, execute my technical craft with precision and taste, and give you an organized delivery on a quick timeline.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I love working in different spaces of the music and art world. I'm an extremely curious person, and staying in a single lane of music doesn't . Whether I'm composing a classical piano piece for a film, producing experimental EDM for a NYFW runway show, crafting hard-hitting beats for A-list rappers, or writing a campfire song with just vocals and guitar - music is music, and I love it all.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What are your broad artistic and career goals, and how does this project factor in to those?

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Intricate, warm, impactful, refined, precise.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Finish the structure of each track

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

A: Everything, and I mean it. Film scores, hip-hop, afrobeats, classical, pop, EDM, house, trailers... you name it, I've probably got it somewhere.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My huge range of music experience is my greatest asset - I'm used to listening deep into a track for the smallest details in all genres, and this level of sonic and artistic precision is what I am proud to bring my clients.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I call myself a musical architect is because I see the process of finishing a song the same way. I ensure that every single element of a track serves its purpose with the right amount of impact, a refined level of clarity, and that it contributes to building the broader sonic world the artist is trying to build.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: To me, alignment is the most important thing. The music itself is never the difficult part of my job - it's aligning on the vision. Before I begin any work I walk through the entire creative vision with my clients - this helps me narrow down the creative vision, and this often results in the artist themselves having a better understanding of their work and what they want. Once the vision has been determined, I work very efficiently and can turn around a project within a day or two, depending on the complexity. Final touches are made and the work is complete, all with a clear process, fast turnaround, and exceptional quality.

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

A: John Williams, Leon Thomas, FKA Twigs, Maurice Ravel, fredagain, Yoshiko Sai, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Mk.gee

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

A: When I'm not producing directly for recording artists or composing music for film or trailers, I like taking on rolling mixing and mastering work.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both of course.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Be decisive - nothing will propel your art, your career, and your personal growth faster than making decisions and moving forward. Being able to take risks, make mistakes, learn, and grow by committing to a high standard of process will put you further ahead than 99% of people in the arts.

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

A: Computer, Sample Drive, Volt 276, Nord Stage 4, Yamaha HS8s. Gives me the most creative freedom, I'm working with my home instrument, and I get to feel the music in the air.
