A: Macbook Pro, Quantum ES4, M-Audio Keystation49, Headphones, Apple Mouse
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: To produce music for other artists; I have been producing music for about almost 2 years.

A: I use Logic Pro and Presonus Quantum ES4 as my DAW and Audio Interface. I have a home studio that has good equipment to make quality music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kygo because he is so talented and is considered one of the people who made tropical house more prominent. He is also one of my biggest influences so it would be honor to work with him.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I normally start with the chord progression with a piano or string instrument, I either do block or rhythmic progression when starting. I then build the drop out and layer sounds and find melodies and/or vocal chops that fit the chords and vocals. I normally do drums at the point I have the drops initial plan laid out. At that point I build out the build, verse, chorus, etc.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise to create quality productions that you like to the best of my ability.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Creating amazing and empowering music.

A: Be as specific as you can be about what you want.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Upbeat, Fun, and Melodic

A: Add variety to each section of your song. Add something different every 4-8 bars. This keeps the listener listening.
