I've been making music for almost four years now, and I've produced everything from acoustic ballads to trap bangers. I care very deeply about what I do, and I will not quit on a track until everything is perfect.
I can produce instrumentals for a myriad of genres, mix vocals, and mix and master the track. I can take your musical endeavors from idea to completed song, as I have experience with every step in the songwriting, recording, mixing, and mastering process.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Lilac did an incredible job mixing our EP. Emphasizing the stylistic diversity of each track, he took our raw recordings and gave every song a unique and professional sound. He was also wonderful to work with--professional, communicative, and friendly. Not to mention affordable, too! I highly recommend choosing Lilac for your next project.
