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

A: I have been involved in the arts since I was a kid. Music was the last thing I picked up on. I stuck with it and our relationship has been great ever since. I have been doing music since 2008, I began writing first and then I progressed into the musical side of things right after. Music has been around me all my life though; I believe that is why I progressed quickly and efficiently.

I try not to place limitations on myself or my capabilities. We never know what we can do unless we try. It may not be the standardized form, but that is good too. We can always use something new!

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Honestly, It is not just about me in this process. It is about both the artist and I; what we can we bring together as one to make the best work possible.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: Usually, when I work I go in with a fresh mind. I never come in with premeditated ideas. All my work is usually improvisational. I try to let everything flow organically. Art is not meant to be forced, but it is meant to be nurtured. Some of the best work is created when you are in the moment. It takes time to create a masterpiece.

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

A: The most common work I do for my clients is production and songwriting work.
