Radio ready mix & mastering

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

A: I am taking my late 70s Fender PJ fretless bass, an amp and solar panels to provide the juice for my computer in order to listen to and play along with music, which would be anything from Phish to Miles Davis to everything in between and beyond; funk, Hip Hop, and classical.

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

A: Professionalism and quality results so that we are both proud of the song that you are ready to release to the world.

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

A: First and foremost, I listen to what you have to say; I listen to what you want as your end product; and I listen to your music and what you're trying to say in that music. From there, we work together until you are satisfied with how your track(s) turned out.

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

A: I am a retired elementary school principal whose first love was always music, which is why my first college experience was in music school. I have written, produced and mixed my own music and I am now taking the first steps to introduce myself as a mix and mastering engineer for hire. I'm a little OCD, which I would imagine will be great for my clients - your mixes will sound mastered before they are actually mastered. My other creative pursuits includes the writing of two self-published novels in the early 2000s, Elusive Things and The Devil is in the Details.

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

A: Based on my own writing, I work on rock/funk/jazz, ballads, EDM, chill, meditational music and orchestral pieces. So, I suppose the word eclectic would be most appropriate.
