Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Both have their own applications; Analog definitely helps improve vocal production before being printed into the DAW.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I love to see an artist's face when I finish their project and it fits their vision perfectly. Seeing heir ecstatic energy come out when they are vibing with the track is addictive to watch; comparable to playing a show in front of thousands of people

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: How long have you been making music? Do you have experience recording in a studio/working in a studio? Do you need to take a 10-minute break?

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

A: If you can present your vision in a formal and focused manner, then it makes my job easier. I have been very confused with clients when they come to me with a project, but describe their project in a vague manner; i.e. 'I want something epic and anthemic'. This phrase does not describe in full detail what the artist wants. There is a wide spectrum of anthemic and epic music across all genres. Be descriptive and creative, possibly sending a mix of references that you would like to blend.

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?
