Mixing & Mastering Engineer

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

A: I’m especially proud of the full albums I’ve worked on. I love shaping a consistent sound across multiple tracks — building a story where every song connects and the whole project feels like one complete world. That’s the kind of work that reminds me why I do this.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital — it gives me freedom, speed, and consistency. The warmth isn’t in the gear, it’s in how you use it. Sometimes I add analog-style saturation for texture, but precision always comes first.

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

A: I’ll treat your music like it’s my own — and make sure it feels right, not just sounds right.

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

A: Find someone who listens before they mix. The best engineers understand your emotion before they touch a fader.

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

A: I started by mixing my own tracks around 2018 and soon began helping other artists. Over time, that turned into full projects and long-term collaborations focused on release-ready sound.

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

A: The Weeknd — because his sound has both atmosphere and precision. It’s cinematic but intimate, the kind of mix that stays with you long after the song ends.

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

A: Mostly R&B, Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, and Pop — especially tracks with warm vocals and tight low-end.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Clarity, balance, and emotion. I make the track hit harder but still feel natural — like it always belonged that way.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by listening to the rough mix to understand the artist’s vision — references, notes, or even just the vibe. Once I get the emotion, I clean up the vocals, balance the low-end, and build the mix around the feeling of the song, not just the levels.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I work fully in-the-box in a treated studio space with a calibrated monitoring chain. My main tools include UAD, FabFilter, iZotope, Slate Digital, and Waves — all tuned for accuracy, so the mix translates everywhere.

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

A: I mainly work on mixing and mastering full songs for artists in R&B, Hip-Hop, and Afrobeat. My job is to make every track sound clean, emotional, and ready for release — whether it’s a raw demo or a near-finished mix. Every project gets a fresh ear and a custom approach.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: A few upcoming R&B and Afrobeat tracks — polishing the mixes and getting them ready for release.

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

A: Not yet — I’m new to the platform, but always open to connecting with talented people here.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: When a mix finally clicks and the artist says, “That’s exactly how I imagined it.” That moment never gets old.

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

A: They often ask, “Can you make it sound like this reference?” — My answer is, “Yes, but let’s keep your unique sound at the center.”

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

A: That mixing is just about volume and plugins. It’s really about storytelling through sound.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What vibe are you going for? Which references inspire you? And what do you want the listener to feel when the song ends?

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

A: Laptop, my mic, audio interface, headphones — and a solar panel, so I can keep mixing forever 😄

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Clean, dynamic, and emotional. I keep things polished but alive — never overprocessed.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t chase loudness — chase clarity. If it sounds clean and balanced at a low volume, it’ll sound powerful when it’s loud.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Understanding what the artist wants to feel — not just how they want it to sound. I translate emotions into frequencies.

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

A: I’m inspired by engineers like Mike Dean and Josh Gudwin for their precision and space, and by artists like The Weeknd and Travis Scott for how they build entire sonic worlds. I love that balance between clarity and emotion — that’s what I aim for in every mix.
