Recording // Production StyleMy style of recording & producing work together. I personally am a huge believer in commitment when it comes to recording styles, techniques, and creative choices. I am a firm believer that the artist always has the best intention of a song/project and I am there to capture it in the best way possible. I like to make bold decisions and trust that the choices I make in the recording/production process will be whats best for a song or project.
Mixing StyleMy mixing style is similar to my recording & producing approach. I am huge believer in commitment and working fast. I believe that my first mix is always my best intention of what I think the song/project should be. After that it is up to me and the artist to make sure that we are giving are best ideas, notes, and sonic choices for the song/project to be the best it can be.
