Interview with gladiator

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

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Both. I use analog writing when I want raw emotion on paper, and digital tools when I need speed, clarity, and quick editing. Each method brings a different energy to the process.

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

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

  18. A: I ask about the emotion, the theme, the story they want to tell, and the mood of the track. I also ask for reference songs so I can match their vision accurately.

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

  20. A: Be clear about the emotion and message you want. The more honest the vision, the stronger and more personal the lyrics will become

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

  22. A: A notebook, a pen, a simple voice recorder, headphones, and a solar charger—enough to capture ideas and turn them into lyrics anywhere.

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

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

  37. Q: What's your typical work process?
