Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I prefer digital, however analog filters will always be superior. As of today, digital tools are almost better than analog in most instances. Digital tools create a better workflow, allowing for more projects to be completed.

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

A: Always working towards your vision for your song.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Working with a bunch of people with different perspectives and backgrounds.

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

A: Make sure you find someone who actually knows what they're doing. Most 'Engineers' think that once they've mixed their own songs once or twice they think they're an engineer. Each genre has it's own needs & frequency response, but some engineers out there assume they can one size fit all everything.

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

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Personally, I enjoy mixing electronic elements within a psychedelic/rock track.
