Drummer and Audio Engineer

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Currently working on new tracks for one of my own bands. Guitars and bass are almost done, then moving on to drums and vocals!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I will always ask for a reference track, a song that you want your track to resemble sonically. I will ask if you want your project to come out polished or if you want something raw and less processed.

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

A: Find someone who is not just passionate about their own work, but yours too.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Purposeful production. Determine what is most beneficial for the project and the client to make it sound as great as possible.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: If it doesn't sound good from the source, it will not sound good in the mix!

A: Punk and metal genres

Q: What's your strongest skill?
