Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: "Worst Enemy" with Amanda Rogers was the first time I showed people just how powerful my words and ear for arrangements are, especially for vocal direction. All while still being a rapper. Plus I was 18 at the time, imagine what I can do now at 27!

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Definitely Breana Marin!

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: To be able to connect with any and everyone through words and music no matter the person and make them feel seen
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Just basic questions mostly such as "Can you write a hook?" Which of course I can! Lol or "What lyric do you believe should fit in a certain part of a track?" And of course that's not a question to answer right away.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Not necessarily a misconception but just the unexpetancy of me knowing how to write songs for people lol

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: All my headphones/earbuds, my DAC, my microphone and interface, and laptop
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been creating music and writing since I was 17, writing for peers such as rappers and singers on the come up. I've been through trial and tribulation finding the right people to work and build community with as I continue working to prepare my art to be shown to the world at a quality professional level!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Coming off of everything I've discussed so far, I'd say feeling before execution.

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring description, simplicity, passion and comfort to songs.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My work process varies on the song and music I am working with, because every song invokes an emotion, and for every emotion comes a different approach to songwriting. But if I had to be specific to get the brain flowing, it's simply humming and mumbling words, finding that sweet spot for the melody till once it's there that's when I fill in the blanks!
