I pull from a diverse background of Rock, Metal, Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Alternative music styles that have shaped how I work with others in creating a unique identity and "brand". Genre hybridization, sound design, and the overall ambiance to your recordings for identity branding and palette for your art are paramount in my work.

The last twenty years have and solidified the “new” version of the recording/studio industry today- The changes since COVID have rapidly accelerated the current model of the recording industry even more-so. In the most general sense we’ve seen the trends- more autonomy for artists to make music own their own, and a rise of budget to prosumer to semi professional studios that have adapted passed a lot of older studio models. That being said, I’ve experienced both sides of the coin- I have worked on SSL’s in professional rooms, I have also made records on laptops with friends in houses. I love the artistic process no matter whatever the type equipment is being used. There is a creative fearlessness I believe you need in this industry more than ever, and my experience of bringing everything from the bedroom producer archetype to a staff engineer at a high studio has helped me reach new levels of communication with a wide variety of artists. How does an artist, band, client, etc. distinguish in 2023 levels of “professionalism” in this field without any sort of barrier of entry? I find more people overwhelmed and confused with who to hire sometimes. I really try to pull from a variety of life and artist experiences to influence my sense of professionalism, there is a lot more than just making a great sounding product. There is no standard for budgets, quality, that can become very overwhelming for a new artist. My goal is to help artists dial a vision and believe in a voice that is authentic to them, my job is to channel those emotions and deliver a high quality product at the end of the day, no matter how we chose to get there technically and philosophically.

I don’t define my work and productions in genres, boxes per se as much as the business and general public may want to categorize things. Obviously if there is an intention and goal of the vision the artist wants, that is to be seen through. But I find the “best art” and experiences tends to come from letting go in the most pure sense and really channeling a fearless in your art to say what you want to say. That is much easier said than done, and sometimes requires difficult conversations with people. The amount of life experiences when they are recording tend to go by very quickly, even in longer sessions. Building something bigger with a client that surpasses what the two (or group) of people individually could do. Collaborating and working together honestly and discovering those “ah hah” moments are so rewarding and tend to be the most enriching as human beings. Creating a piece of art together that you all collectively came together for and brought to a new level- nothing better than seeing a great team win, and I want to help channel that with all of my projects.
