Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Experience of course. I have been in music business since I was 13. I put a radio transmitter and started sending illegal radio signal on my neighbourhood and my playlist nothing but all the 90's great EDM songs. My illegal radio become very popular but shut down by officers later so I was hired by an official legal radio to keep playing great music. Since then my strongest skill is feeling to the great music and my experience. I KNOW exactly how good song should be and should sound. Grammy winning genius Greg Wells told me that I can compete with the top engineers like the f**king best one once he listened my mixes. Andrew Scheps could not find any issue with my mixes and told me "bravo!" which is a proof that i'm on the right path and my experience and knowledge is at highest level.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring life, story, competition and sonically perfection to a song.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by listening the song that i'm working on entire day. I live with the track that day to feel where to go with the track. I try to sketch a story with it in my mind and then I open my session, first thing I do is to put that story into the track, balance everything nicely, get the vibe going and then I start mixing the channels that I feel they need to be enhanced. Once I'm done mixing, I listen the story again and if it's exactly like in my mind I start testing it technically to make sure it's also competitive with industry standards. At the end of work process I all have nothing but a perfect sounding song.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have a private studio which I'm not sharing with someone else, I spend most of my time in the studio making sound better. It's acoustically fantastic, I have multiple monitoring system to not miss anything from the sound source also I have Powered Speakers that can be used in a club so I can test my project on that system too to make sure everything is perfect. 1000's of plugins that worth more than 10K USD, some gears I use here and there, great converters, powerful computer and the most important than anything in my studio which is my ears. :) They are golden.

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

A: I don't really follow or check some names in the business, I like to dig deeper and find great songs that is mixed great and it does not have to be a professional. Professionals are just the lucky names and I have seen much better works than a grammy winning pro produced, mixed or mastered. I love music that is not coming from like a robot is mixed, mastered or produced. I love music that is made by heart.

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

A: I usually mix and master EDM songs. I don't just mix what is there but I give advices if there is missing in the arrangement, song structure, harmonic problems, instrument performance, sound selection, phase issue etc. This is complete job rather than just EQ'ing or compressing the tracks.
