Music Producer

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

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I use both analog and digital—there’s something magical about tracking through a compressor or preamp, capturing that warmth and character, then finishing and polishing everything in the box. It gives me the best of both worlds: vibe and precision.

A: My promise to my clients is that we’ll see every idea and goal through to the finish—and have fun doing it. Music is hard work, but it should always be fun, and I make sure the process reflects that

You’ll always have the final say, and I aim to create a space where you feel safe to share exactly what you want to say.

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

A: That producing is just technical—it’s really about shaping a song emotionally and creatively from start to finish.

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

A: Find someone who listens as much as they produce—someone who cares about your vision and story, and can translate that into sound. Your song is the pilot, and I’m there as the best co-pilot I can be, making sure your vision comes to life and serving the song every step of the way.

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

A: I’d take my laptop, an SM7B microphone, a Strat-style guitar, a nylon guitar, and a good preamp—just enough to capture ideas, play, and produce music anywhere

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

A: I started as a guitarist and songwriter, then moved into production in 2018, first working online and assisting other producers. In 2022, I launched my own projects, and since then, I’ve had the joy and privilege of producing songs with artists across the U.S.

Q: How would you describe your style?

Q: What's your typical work process?
