I mesh the organic and synthetic to create emotive, dynamic pieces that tell stories. I have years of work as a multi-instrumentalist and producer/sound designer, a professional ear, and a full studio at my disposal. Whatever you want your sounds to say, I can help you make them say it.
Born and raised in NYC by a mom who was an opera singer and a dad who was a conductor, I was immersed in music and arts from the start. Growing up in the era of Kanye and Kid Cudi in their prime, I offer an interesting and fresh blend of lyrics, melody's, and production. If you are looking for that "it" factor, I can help bring it to your songs.
If its mixing, mastering, editing, programming, or vocal pitch correction you need, I can help you for a fraction of the cost of big time studios. I like helping independent artists find their sound and was lucky enough to help Texas based Metal band Light The Fire get signed to Standby Records with the work I did on their "Lost At Sea" album.
