Audio Engineer, Producer,

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: I'm working with a producer in ATL and LA on a professional project that's awesome. I'm also recording and producing tracks at my university.

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

A: New to the site, so don't know anyone currently.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both, it depends on the artist song and style.

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

A: We'll make something that's unforgettable.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Everyone asks me about rates and my answer is it varies my project because everyone is so different.

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

A: People think that I'm only one-dimensional when in reality I can do it all. I'm also an artist who's in between the process of making professional songs, so I know what pops and what doesn't.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: 1. What are they looking for? It's always clearer for both parties when a client knows what they want. 2. What do they need? I've come across many many artists who know what they WANT but don't really know what they NEED and they could save a lot more money by knowing what they need and not what they want. 3. Where are you trying to make your mark? By you lyrics? deliver? or voice? (because then I can highlight whatever they want. 4. What's your budget? Everyone project has a budget, it's nice to clear that up. 5. Why should I do your track? What is there about me that interest you?

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

A: Look for authenticity. Many people will claim they can do this, or that, but the proof is always in the pudding. Ask to hear some samples, and always ask what equipment do they use.

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

A: Would the island have electricity? Lol, but probably my rode mic for recording, my Mac book air, my beat machine and my keyboard along with my preamp.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I've been doing music since 2011, I'm currently in my third year at a university.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is very timeless. The other day I made a song from the perspective of the 80's, then the next day worked on a trap style that's infused with pop that's stirring the water in the pro world.

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

A: I rather look for that artist that hasn't made it (yet) I rather work with someone who would help me grow as a producer or audio engineer. I treat everyone the same from unknown artist to the top ten artists.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Yes, my tip would invest in the right equipment & stay creative. Cut out 2-4 hours every day for your craft whether it's singing, producing, or audio engineering.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Strongest skill would be between my talent and my ear. I have been told by professionals I have a great ear. Also writing for other artist is also an amazing skill I have.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I can turn any song into a radio quality hit ( if recorded in the right atmosphere and produced well.)

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work process would be communicating with the artist on what sound they are looking for, then I would listen to the track, give my suggestions, then when we come to a mutual agreement on sound and quality I dissect the track vocal by vocal and instrument by instrument and improve each instrument or vocal then I go to work on the backing tracks etc. Give the song more life.
