SERVICES
Record Producer
I love producing records. Capturing an artist's musical vision and transforming it into a captivating recording has long been my passion. I can produce pop, rock, folk, indie, alternative, rnb, neo-soul and hip hop to TOP 40 standard.
Mixer
Creating sonic landscapes with my digital & analog tools is always an exciting adventure! Telling a story through a mix has become my new obsession. I can infuse punch, clarity, suspense and emotion into your song with a radio ready mix that will sound HUGE!
Songwriter
I've been writing music since I was a teenager. I've written as a band member, solo artist and through collaborations with singer/songwriters. It all starts with a great song and I'm always ready to write a hit.
Session Musician
There's nothing more enjoyable than playing an instrument. I'm a multi-instrumentalist that can record guitar, bass, keys and drums on your next song. I play music with a lot of emotion and attention to what will serve the song best.
