I love using space and then the interruption of this space in order to better serve a song/production - Influences: Radiohead, Greg Leisz, Sufjan, Sigur Ros. I specialize in melodic steel guitar playing, song-focused string arranging, keys, and eliciting emotion into your song in any way that I can. I love atmosphere and melody.

My biggest passion is creating mixes that maintain dynamics, clarity, and musicality.

I know what's best for your song and I can make it happen no matter what. I've worked for over ten years in the music industry with major labels, indie artists, and in film/tv across every genre and every setting imaginable. Whether it's the bare minimum or the total maximum, no matter what stage your song is in, I'll get it where it needs to go.
