Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring unique approach, out of the box thinking, relevans and professionalism.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Depending on the project, type of clients etc. Sometimes I make music in advance and pitch it to clients I like to work with. If clients reach out to help with their project: - I undergo a communication process where I figure out there goal, vision, style, expectations etc. to make sure we are on the same page. - depending on the level of finished their song is i start the process of building the song. - communicate with the client meanwhile to make sure we both are agreeing and happy with the process and product. Remix is different, where I make the instrumentation around the vocals or with beats/instrumentals I use the lead melody to create a new piece. Mix/master starts with communicating with the client about expectations, needs etc. and I give an mix/master version which they can choose to have altered to their like.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use Prodipe Ribbon Bi-Amp Monitoring, Sterling MX8 Monitors, Focusrite Saffire Pro Audiointerface, Ableton Live 9, Logic Pro X, Native Instruments Komplete 11, Waves Renaissance, Fabfilter Pro-L/Pro-MB/ProC2, Softube Weiss mm-1, Softube Drawner.

I do make compositions and sound design for sync licensing as well through my publishing company Nordic Music Society. Other than that I do mix/master for other producers, artists and songwritere to help their songs reach a higher potential.
