Singer/songwriter Producer. Singing professionally for 14 years now in and out of studios in LA and I was also a part time Mixing engineer at Dberg studios in burbank CA. Currently working 9-5 at Warner Music Group in DTLA.
I can provide you high quality vocals, mixes, or mastering in either a fast pace/quick turnaround type of scenario and/or a more time consuming approach to your song. Either way i can guarantee you a great product. I love to be creative so don't hesitate to be as tedious as you feel necessary with ideas.
My voice can be used on anything from pop, Dance pop, Electro pop, R&B, R&B Electro, EDM (Future bass, progressive house, future pop and future house), Country, Folk, and Ballads. No matter how dynamic you want your vocals to be we can make it happen.
I work as a mastering QC engineer at Warner Music Group in downtown Los Angeles and have been a mixing engineer since 2015 at Dberg Studios. I guarantee my ear for your mixes and masters will have you jumping in your seat during the car test lol! Let’s make it happen and bring your song to life!
