An NY based producer, specialized in modern afrobeat / r&b and dancehall vibes. Let's create something vibey!
Hey! I'm a NY based producer & multi instrumentalist. For production I specialize in modern afrobeat / r&b and dancehall vibes, however for session work I'm down for any genre! Piano is my strong suit but I can definitely lay down some smooth guitar & bass parts too!
I've been playing piano since 2016, teaching myself through youtube videos with my mom's old upright piano in her house. I started producing the next year and have actively been involved with music professionally since then.

Interview with Poncho
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Taylor GS Mini. I love that guitar with my whole heart. I don't care about anything else 😂 If I had to pick 4 more, my nord piano 5, my apollo x4, my telecaster and my p bass.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: For beats, I start with a drum loop, stack melodies on top of it til it's a full 8 bar loop then arrange the beat out. For session work, honestly I listen to the song once or twice, hop on the keys and let whatever comes to mind to flow.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a studio inside of a event space in Westchester NY. It's pretty simple, all of my instruments are there routed to either my tascam model 24 or my apollo x4, and I play everything back through yamaha hs5s and a hs8s subwoofer.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Tems and Odeal are my two biggest production inspirations, while Zaytoven is a big piano inspiration
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most commonly I either make beats or play piano parts for clients.
