Then in my fully equipped analog/digital hybrid studio, I will bring out the life and character of your tracks to create a stunning final mix and upload-ready master

The Birth of Production Uplift
Working consistently with high-level musicians in NYC, I kept encountering the same challenge: artists with great songs trapped in limited productions. They'd spent months perfecting their tracks, but something was missing. The MIDI drums felt lifeless. The arrangements buried the vocals. The mix lacked character.

That's when I developed my Production Uplift process—a systematic approach to transforming good recordings into great music:

Live Player Integration
I bring in real musicians (or play instruments myself) to replace MIDI tracks with human feel and professional performance quality.

Arrangement Elevation
Using my classical and jazz training, I make strategic tweaks that serve the song and feature the vocals.

Analog Character
I run tracks through high-end analog gear that adds the warmth, grit, and character that separates bedroom recordings from professional releases.

Expert Mix & Master
The final polish comes from experienced artist's ears—understanding not just how to make things sound good, but how to make them serve the song.

My process is a culmination of many years of study - classical harmony, jazz, sound design and synthesis, voice, performance, and songwriting, and bringing all of that experience together to serve your song and your voice.
