Producer, Mixer, Songwriter

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What is the song about? What is the vision you are trying to achieve?

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

A: My wife and I have been in bands together since we were teenagers. I am a classically trained vocalist with a BA in Music Performance at Nicholls State University, where I also studied composition and arrangement. I got started in engineering while I was in college for my band Day Like This as well as other bands I was involved with, and for performances in the music department at my university. My band toured and I did live sound engineering for the Extreme Tour West Coast leg in 2016. In 2017-18, I interned as an audio engineer at Long Hollow Baptist Church, learning from highly talented professionals and honing my craft in live sound, editing, producing, writing, and recording. I began producing records for my band and soon after began taking on work for other artists. In 2019, we moved to Pensacola, FL and in 2021 built up our studio.

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

A: Rock, Metal, Acoustic, Electronic, Christian Contemporary, Pop

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I can envision how the completed work should sound and bring that vision to reality.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring professional standards and sharpened instincts.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My process begins with a conversation with the client. I want to understand as much as possible about the artist and about their project so we are on the same page and I can deliver exactly what they are striving to achieve. Then in preproduction the artists and I will work together to hammer out all the details of the instrumentation and performance. If the artist needs instrumentation provided, then I begin composing and arranging those aspects of the song. Then the recording process begins. Once tracking and editing is complete, I will then mix the song and send the first version to the artist for review. If it is determined we need to make revisions, then I will do that. Once the artist is satisfied with the mix, I will deliver it to them and coordinate with a mastering engineer of their choice for the project's completion.

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

A: Most commonly I am hired to produce, arrange, and perform a full song based off of a demo. Occasionally I also get requests to write songs in addition to producing them.

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

A: I promise to deliver pro level work that meets or exceeds your expectations.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is fully furnished to accommodate and produce a full band of any instrumentation. In addition to the standard studio gear, the studio is equipped with all sorts of instruments, a guitar amplifier, and a drum set.
