Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Ha! Ok. So I Actually went to school for pro audio engineering in the early 2000's. I did a little grunt work in some studios in LA, no big deal. long story short I got a straight job. I've done a project here and there with a couple of bands since then. I always played music. I'm in a position where I can dedicate some time and resources to the art.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I don't want to have a style mixing. I want to bring out the best in the song not make it sound like me.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I love the work
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Dedication. When I'm mixing, I'm mixing and thats it! I put the time and work in because I like doing it and don't want to stop.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to talk to the artist and find out what the song means to them and what they want it to sound like. I also like a couple of references of recordings for sounds or production they like. I listen to the song and take some quick first impression notes. Then I usually work on the drums or beat first and make sure the foundation and drive is there. Then the vocals get attention because thats what we as humans identify with. Then I try to build rest of the arrangement around the above. I hope that makes sense.
