Mixing Jazz, Pop, Classical

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I think analog, digital is more flexible in a lot of ways, but when it comes to my beloved "feeling" in music, there is no other way then do it in analog. Despite the sound, the creativity (for me) is very limited when you're just sitting at your desktop and clickin your mouse arround. Having a reason to move away, think, change something, go to the other part of the room is enhancing pretty much every aspect of the process.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: There's really no "wrong" ways. It's only the convenient and experimental ones.

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

A: People think making music takes time. But in reality it takes ages. Sometimes you need to redo song once or twice, start over, change the vibe, change the tempo, change the instruments to get it all to work.

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

A: If you're looking for somebody to interfere into your world, you look for somebody who you trust will not destroy it. Listen to their music, ask questions, and try to find somebody you VIBE with, because music is all about the feelings and emotions. If it wasn't, we'd call it maths.

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

A: Oh I'd love to work with John Michael Howell, he has some amazing vocals and really is a nice guy.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: If you can't dance to it, it's not IT yet.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I chase the feeling. Nowadays, especially when AI starts to play a big role in the whole music business we all are craving that human feeling, the one that Coldplay's "Yellow" or "The Scientist" give us. I try to do the same, don't go in some specific pattern or overthinking everything at first, I tend to chase the vibe of the song and then polish what I think turned out to be great.

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

A: I'm a big fun of Pop music, but especially Benson Boone, his vocals man... alongside him, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Imagine Dragons and everybody else. In terms of production we all know and love what Rian Tedder does, he always gets on point with his decisions, then Jason Evigan and Benny Blanco.
