Q: What's your typical work process?

A: When working for clients, I record a first rough draft of the song and send it over to make sure it's going in the right direction, once I get the approval I proceed with recording and writing. Once i have a final recording/recordings, the clients can ask for revisions which can be little things like: change the flow of that one phrase, add more backing vocals in this one particular part, change the flow of this one line in the verse or sing the last chorus louder. The revisions can't be recording the whole song from the beginning.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Microphone - Neumann 103 Interface - Komplete Audio 6 Macbook Pro - Logic Pro X and of course monitors, keyboards, guitars, because I also produce music.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: My most in demand service is writing lyrics+melody for a provided track and recording Lead, Double Tracking and Backing Vocals for it. I did that for producers, for companies trying to promote their products, for record labels and a pretty cool person once asked me to write a song as a gift for their friend :)
