Cinematic Music Producer

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

A: One project I’m especially proud of was a melancholic downtempo single for a vocalist who wanted the track to feel like “a slow memory replaying.” I built the entire production around a simple piano and vocal idea, using evolving pads, subtle noise and trip-hop drums to mirror the emotion in the lyrics. Hearing how personally they connected with the final song made the whole process worth it.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I’m currently developing a set of cinematic downtempo instrumentals for vocalists and building a small catalogue of atmospheric tracks tailored for indie artists and visual projects.

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

A: At the moment I’m new to the SoundBetter community, so I don’t have specific names yet – but as I collaborate more here I’ll happily recommend other professionals I trust.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both. I mostly work in the digital world for flexibility and recall, but I love using analog-style plugins, tape and noise textures to add character and imperfection so the music feels more human.

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

A: My promise is to treat your song with care, listen to what you’re trying to express, and create a track that feels emotionally true to you and ready for release.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: When an artist hears the first bounce and says, “That’s exactly how it feels in my head.” That moment where their idea becomes a world they can step into is the best part.

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

A: “Can you work from a rough idea or voice memo?” Yes – I actually love starting from simple ideas. A basic demo, chords or melody is enough for me to build a full cinematic track around your voice. “How many revisions do I get?” I include a set number of revisions depending on the package, and I’m always clear about that upfront so the process feels structured and stress-free.

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

A: That producers just “add some beats under a vocal.” Good production is about storytelling, dynamics, space and emotion – not just stacking sounds.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I usually ask: – What emotion or story is at the heart of this song? – Do you have reference tracks that capture the mood you’re going for? – How do you want your vocal to feel in the mix – intimate, powerful, distant, upfront? – What’s your release plan and deadline?

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

A: Choose someone who understands the emotion behind your song — not just the BPM and key. The right producer brings your story to life.

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

A: A laptop with FL Studio, an audio interface, a good pair of headphones, one versatile soft synth, and an electric guitar with a small multi-FX unit for ambient sounds.

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

A: I started producing as a way to soundtrack ideas and moods, experimenting with downtempo beats and ambient textures. Over the years I focused more on working with vocalists and developing a cinematic style. I’ve been producing and honing my sound for several years, gradually moving from a hobby into professional work.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Ethereal, melancholic and cinematic – slow-burn tracks with deep low-end, textured atmospheres and subtle trip-hop grooves.

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

A: I’d love to work with artists like Aurora or London Grammar — vocalists with a strong emotional identity who can turn atmosphere into storytelling.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don’t be afraid of silence and minimalism. If every frequency is busy, emotion gets lost. Leave pockets of space so one sound – usually the vocal – can really cut through and carry the feeling.

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

A: Downtempo, trip-hop, ambient-pop, and moody alternative. If it’s emotional and cinematic, I’m in.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Translating a feeling or a vague idea into a fully realised track, and knowing how to strip things back so the emotion hits harder instead of over-producing.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring depth, atmosphere and intention – music that feels like a scene from a film, with tension and release, and plenty of space for the vocal to breathe and connect.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by understanding the emotion and story behind the song – a reference track, a lyric, or a rough voice memo. I’ll sketch a few core ideas (chords, groove, texture), send an early draft for feedback, then refine the arrangement, add details and ear candy, and finally mix and master the track so it’s ready for release.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I am currently building a home studio. I work in FL Studio with a hybrid digital workflow — Ambient guitar layers, tape and granular textures, and a monitoring chain tuned for cinematic depth.

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

A: Massive Attack, Portishead, Bonobo, Billie Eilish/FINNEAS — producers who turn mood and storytelling into a sonic world.

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

A: I produce full cinematic downtempo tracks built around vocalists — crafting emotional atmospheres, trip-hop inspired drums, and spacious arrangements that elevate the meaning of their lyrics.
