Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: How long does it take to finish a song? It depends, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few weeks.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Considering there isn't any electrical power on this island, I would take an Acoustic guitar, a cajon, some kinda wind instrument flute, a shaker, and a Steinway piano.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Less is more. It's not about production, it's about the song.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start recording with guitar/keys and vocals ideas, then arrange the song, then start writing the lyrics. From there the rest is easy.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: HS8 speakers, apollo interface, MacBook & Shure SM7B. I have every plugin in the book, I like working in the box. I also love my SH101, gotta have some classic gear.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Max Martin is a legend of a producer. As far as music, I like lots of 80s pop & classic rock.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Songwriting, producing, and topline work. Being in the publishing business requires me to wear a few extra hats, I enjoy it!
