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

A: First step is always to communicate with the artist / client in a detailed way. I usually take care of the production from scratch.

Sometimes they come at me with just a melody, and I build a track around what they have and what they want. I also really love to do other anywhere-in-between jobs like vocal tuning, editing or mixing.
