R&B/Rap Songwriter & Artist

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I wrote and referenced a record that ended up in a water brand commercial. Did the full topline and vocal structure. Seeing that song land a sync and connect with people outside the studio was fire.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Finishing my next EP and doing ghostwriting for R&B and melodic rap clients. Also building digital products like vocal chains and templates for artists.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: Not yet. I’m just getting started here and building my own lane first.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital for the flexibility and speed. I like working fast and experimenting. But I add analog-style warmth in the mix to give it texture.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: Every record will be intentional, custom, and emotion-first. I won’t send anything I wouldn’t use myself.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: Creating something that didn’t exist before and hearing the artist connect with it.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Can you match my style? Yes. That’s the whole point. I write so it sounds like it came from you, not me.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That ghostwriting makes it less personal. The goal is to write in the artist’s voice and make it feel like their own experience.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What’s the energy you want on this song? Do you have references or a style you like? Do you want lyrics only or full demo? What’s your deadline?

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Be honest about your sound and what you’re aiming for. I can meet you where you’re at and build something that feels real if I know the vibe up front.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: MacBook, Apollo Twin, mic, headphones, and a hard drive full of beats.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: Started out recording in home setups with friends and writing every day. Built a catalog, got credits, and now I’m full-time. I’ve been at this seriously for over five years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Melody-driven, emotional, smooth but confident. My writing is reflective and personal without feeling soft.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Brent Faiyaz. I respect the way he balances emotional writing with clean, minimal production. I think our styles would connect naturally.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Capture the first take. Don’t chase perfection too early. Some of the best moments come from raw energy.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Modern R&B, melodic rap, and anything that sits between those two. I like writing for artists who care about emotion and vibe.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Melody. I know how to find the pocket early and turn it into something smooth and replayable. Hooks and toplines are my go-to.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: Emotion, melody, and confidence. I make sure the song feels lived-in and true to the artist. I focus on phrasing, bounce, and vocal rhythm so nothing sounds forced.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start with melody first. I’ll freestyle or hum over the beat until I find a pattern that feels right, then write lyrics around that feeling. From there I build the hook and structure the verses. I always record a full reference so the client can hear the delivery and emotion.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I record from a treated home setup with an Apollo interface, a quality vocal chain, and clean monitoring. Everything I deliver is tracked and demoed in-house so it’s easy for the artist to cut or build from.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Don Toliver, Brent Faiyaz, Chris Brown, PnB Rock, and producers like Taz Taylor and Nick Mira. I’m inspired by artists who know how to make feeling-driven music with replay value.

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

A: Writing full songs from scratch. I do a lot of hooks, verses, and melodies for artists who want something emotional, bounce-heavy, and natural. A lot of the work is ghostwriting melodic rap and R&B records with a personal feel.
