Songwriter & EDM Producer

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

A: I’ve worked on ableton for many years, creating custom songs that translate deeply personal experiences into full vocal and production-based tracks. My role is to take something internal and make it audible. I seek to turn memories and emotions into structured sonic narratives that people can return to and experience a new feeling when listening again and again.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Custom vocal-driven songs and emotionally focused electronic productions centered around real human stories, asd well as my own LP, and you can preview some of my tracks here: https://soundcloud.com/radiantmuzak/tracks

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

A: I will treat your story with care and translate it into a song that feels emotionally accurate, intentional, and long lasting.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Turning something personal and unspoken into a song someone can finally hear and feel outside of themselves. I love working as a vessel for catalyzing the inspiration from someone else's story to actualize it into something real.

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

A: “Can you really turn my story into a song?” Yes. That’s the entire focus of my work—transforming real experiences into fully realized songs that reflect their emotional truth.

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

A: That it’s just “writing a song over a beat.” In reality, I’m translating a personal story into a full emotional structure... this includes lyrics, melody, vocal performance, and production that are all built around capturing the feeling accurately, not just making something that sounds good.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask what emotional moment or experience the song is rooted in, what feeling they want the listener to have, and any specific words, memories, or messages they want included. I also ask about reference tracks so I can understand the direction they are seeking, sonically... and overall mood they’re drawn to.

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

A: Be honest about the emotion behind your story. The more specific the feeling, the more accurately I can translate it into music that actually resonates with all parties involved.

A: I’ve developed my work through years of independent music creation as a singer-songwriter, electronic producer, and live performer. My path has combined studio production, DJing, and community-based performance spaces, alongside academic study in psychology and mindfulness at Harvard, which deeply informs how I approach emotional storytelling in music.

A: Emotional translation. I take things people struggle to articulate and turn them into melody, lyrics, and sound that feel instantly recognizable and emotionally true.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start with the emotional core of the client’s story. From there, I build lyrical direction and melody first, then design the vocal performance and production around that emotional arc. Every decision is guided by what the story feels like, not just how it sounds.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I work from a focused home studio setup in Seattle using Ableton Live and Logic Pro X, a professional condenser microphone, MIDI controllers, and a vocal production chain for recording, layering, and processing vocals. My setup is built for both songwriting and emotional electronic production.

A: I create custom vocal-driven songs built from real stories. Most clients come to me with personal experiences—relationships, transitions, emotional milestones—and I turn those into fully written and produced tracks with original lyrics, melody, and emotional structure.
