Songwriter & Producer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: One project that fills my heart with immense professional pride is my work on the album 'Remastered' by the K-pop group MIRAE. My role was to serve as the architect of their emotional narrative, crafting lyrics and melodies that had to resonate with a very specific, beautiful stage of life. It was a profound creative challenge to step into the world of these young artists. I had to write from a place of school-age innocence, capturing that unique blend of bright-eyed joy and the deep, overwhelming sentimentality that only comes when you are discovering the world for the first time. I wanted the lyrics to feel like a handwritten note tucked into a textbook—pure, nostalgic, and filled with hope. Designing melodies that were both vibrant and deeply moving for such a young group required a delicate touch. Every word was chosen to protect that sense of 'first loves' and 'endless summers.' Seeing how those innocent, cheerful stories connected with listeners reminded me that music is our most powerful way to preserve the purity of youth. Being part of MIRAE's journey and helping them find their voice through these sentimental stories is a memory I will carry with me forever.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Right now, I am pouring my soul into a series of tracks that explore the delicate intersection of vocal intimacy and cinematic energy. I’m working on a project where I’m layering ethereal, bilingual vocal textures over deep, driving Progressive House rhythms—searching for that perfect balance where the music feels as vast as a stadium but as personal as a heartbeat. Every day in my studio is currently dedicated to perfecting the 'emotional drop'—the moment where the production explodes not just with volume, but with a release of feeling. Whether I'm finishing one of my own releases or nurturing an artist’s vision, my current focus is on making sure every synth lead and every lyric serves a higher purpose: to remind the listener that they are not alone in what they feel. I'm essentially taking everything I've learned from my 120+ previous stories and distilling it into sounds that feel more honest and more human than ever before.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: The beautiful thing about music is that it is a shared journey, and I believe in surrounding myself with souls who treat art with the same reverence I do.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: For me, it is a Digital soul with an Analog heart. I choose the digital world for its infinite possibilities to dream and create—it is the canvas that allows me to build the complex, ethereal layers of my 120+ productions. However, I always breathe analog life into my tracks because I believe music needs 'imperfections' to feel human. Digital gives us the precision to reach the stars, but analog gives us the warmth of a hug. I use digital tools to sculpt the sonic landscape, but I seek that analog saturation and character to ensure the melodies feel intimate and close, as if the artist is whispering directly into the listener's ear. To me, the gear doesn't matter as much as the warmth of the emotion it leaves behind; I use the best of both worlds to make sure your story feels both modern and timeless.

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

A: My promise to you is that I will never let the technology overshadow the truth of your song. I promise to treat your music with the same reverence as a personal memory. While I will provide you with the professional 'wall of sound,' the 120+ tracks of experience, and the high-end production standards required for today’s market, my ultimate commitment is to protect the emotional spark that made you write the song in the first place. I promise that when our work is finished, you won't just have a radio-ready file; you will have a piece of art that sounds exactly how your heart felt when the melody was born. I promise to build a sonic home for your voice where every harmony and every beat serves one purpose: to make the listener feel exactly what you feel.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: What I love most is that fleeting, magical moment when a melody suddenly finds its wings and begins to breathe. I love the process of taking a fragile, whispered idea and surrounding it with a sonic landscape that gives it the strength to reach thousands of hearts. To me, there is no greater joy than the 'goosebump moment'—that second during production when the chords and the lyrics align perfectly, and you feel a shiver down your spine. It’s the realization that we’ve created a bridge of empathy between the artist and a stranger listening across the world. Being the architect of that connection, and knowing that a song I helped nurture might become the soundtrack to someone’s healing or celebration, is why I have dedicated my life to these 120+ stories I've told through music.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Clients often ask: 'Can you make my song sound as emotional and powerful as the hits I hear on the radio?' My response is always the same: Technical power is easy to achieve, but emotional impact is something we must build together. I tell them that while I have the tools to create a professional 'wall of sound,' my true job is to ensure that the production never suffocates the heart of the song. I explain that we will focus on the 'vocal intimacy' and the 'melodic tension' first. I tell them: 'I will use my experience from 120+ tracks to make sure that when the drop hits or the chorus opens up, it’s not just loud—it’s a cathartic release.' I promise them that their song won't just be a file; it will be a bridge to the listener’s soul, polished with the same care that earned me 35,000 monthly listeners through pure, emotional connection.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest misconception is believing that my work is merely about organizing sounds, pushing buttons, or following a technical template. Many think a producer just adds 'polish' to a track, but in reality, I translate silences and raw emotions into frequencies. Producing isn't just about filling sonic space; it’s about knowing which part of the artist’s soul needs to breathe in every second. People often assume that because I use technology, the process loses its humanity—but it is the opposite. I use every tool to amplify that spark of vulnerability that makes a melody give you goosebumps. I don't just build tracks; I build sonic sanctuaries where listeners can find their own stories reflected in my notes.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: What is the core emotion you want the listener to feel at the 2:00 AM mark? I want to know if we are chasing nostalgia, euphoria, or a healing heartbreak. If this song were a scene in a movie, what would be happening? This helps me visualize the sonic landscape and the 'cinematic' movement of the production. What is the 'sacred' part of your demo that we must not change? I need to know which melody or lyric is the soul of your story so I can protect it during the production process. Who are the artists that make you feel understood? This helps me align the 'emotional DNA' of our track with your deepest inspirations. What story are you trying to tell through your vocal performance? Especially in K-Pop and Pop, the vocal is the bridge between two hearts; I need to know how to build that bridge around your voice.

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

A: My best advice is to look for a collaborator who doesn't just hear your notes, but feels your story. When hiring a producer, especially for genres as vibrant as K-Pop or House, look beyond the technical equipment and seek someone who treats your melody like a fragile secret that needs to be shared with the world. Before you reach out, try to define the 'emotional color' of your song. Is it the blue of a lonely midnight or the gold of a triumphant sunrise? Share that vision with us. When you find a partner who values the 'goosebump moment' as much as the final mix, you are no longer just hiring a service—you are beginning a creative journey to touch the hearts of thousands, just as I have strived to do with every one of my 120 tracks.

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

A: 1. Universal Audio Interface (Essential for my vocal chain). 2. Laptop with my custom K-Pop sample packs. 3. Sennheiser HD 650s for an open, honest sound. 4. A high-end Condenser Mic to capture bilingual toplines. 5. A 49-key MIDI Controller. This setup has helped me reach 35k monthly listeners from my own studio, so it’s all I need to keep the momentum going anywhere.

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

A: With a career spanning over 120 produced tracks and a proven track record of reaching 35k monthly listeners organically, I bring a wealth of experience to every project. I have spent years perfecting the 'Major Label' sound in the Progressive House and K-Pop genres. My journey is rooted in a passion for high-fidelity sound design and bilingual toplining, ensuring that every artist I work with benefits from a decade of industry-tested expertise.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is a high-octane blend of Melodic Progressive House and Modern K-Pop. I focus on creating a 'wall of sound' that combines the emotional, uplifting melodies of the Avicii era with the intricate vocal arrangements and sharp sound design of the current Seoul music scene. It’s cinematic, energetic, and built for the main stage.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I am fascinated by artists like G-Dragon or NewJeans, who aren't afraid to break genre boundaries. As a producer who has successfully navigated the indie market to gain over 100k streams, I value artists who push for a unique 'sonic identity.' I’d love to collaborate on a project where we can merge underground House textures with mainstream Pop hooks.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: In both K-Pop and Progressive House, the most important element is 'energy management.' Don't just add layers to make a track louder; focus on the contrast between your verses and drops. A powerful drop only feels massive if the section before it creates the right amount of tension and space. Silence and minimalism are just as important as your biggest synth lead.

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

A: I primarily work on K-Pop and Electronic Dance Music (EDM). These are the genres where I have achieved my greatest success, including reaching 35k monthly listeners on Spotify with 100% organic growth. I focus on creating radio-ready hits that feature the polished sound design and infectious hooks necessary to stand out in today's streaming landscape.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My expertise lies in modern bilingual production and arrangement. I have a unique ability to bridge the gap between Western Progressive House and the complex, high-energy world of K-Pop. My strongest skill is crafting addictive 'hooks' and vocal arrangements in both English and Korean that feel authentic and professional, backed by the experience of releasing over 120 tracks.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I offer a unique bridge between Western Pop sensibilities and the high-octane world of K-Pop. I bring an expert ear for bilingual toplining and the ability to craft instrumentals that feel both fresh and familiar. I don't just produce tracks; I build sonic identities that help independent artists achieve the same organic growth I've experienced with my own music.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My process begins with a deep dive into your vision, references, and goals to ensure we are aligned from day one. Once the direction is set, I build the foundation of the track, focusing on high-energy arrangements and catchy hooks. I provide frequent updates to keep you involved in the creative journey. After the production is polished, I move into a meticulous mixing and mastering phase to ensure your song is ready for Spotify and radio rotation.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My studio is a high-end hybrid environment optimized for fast-paced K-Pop and EDM workflows. I run a professional Universal Audio setup for pristine AD/DA conversion, ensuring every vocal and instrument is captured with 'Major Label' clarity. I utilize industry-standard monitoring to guarantee that my mixes translate perfectly from club systems to Spotify. My setup is designed for efficiency, allowing me to deliver radio-ready masters within tight deadlines.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I draw inspiration from producers who successfully bridge the gap between global EDM and K-Pop, such as LDN Noise and Infected Mushroom. I also admire Ian Kirkpatrick for his innovative pop arrangements. My goal is to combine the drive of Progressive House with the complex, multi-genre layers found in modern K-Pop hits.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I specialize in end-to-end music production, transforming raw ideas into radio-ready hits. Most of my work involves full-track production, topline writing (lyrics and melody), and vocal arrangement. Having achieved 35k+ monthly listeners organically, I focus on creating high-energy K-Pop and Progressive House tracks that are built to perform in the current market.
