PRODUCER & PLATINUM MIXER
LOS ANGELES, CA
Producer:
Music represents an artist's utmost vulnerability, and at times it is tough to hear how your work can be improved upon. It is important to know that a producer will honor your artistic integrity while offering ideas to help better each song. I've always aimed to provide an informed outside perspective when handling any production I've worked on. I aim to respectfully comment on each composition, offering ideas to improve each song and make it the best it can possibly be. Any idea or change I suggest will always be a discussion, and together we will all come to an agreement on the best ways to refine each song.
Mixer:
While I initially trained on large format SSL and API consoles; laying out mixes in a more traditional old school way, I mostly work in the box these days. The goal is to create mixes that I feel best represent each artist's music with character, clarity, and depth. It is important to me to accomplish a well rounded sound with large low end and modern presence.
Engineer:
I began recording bands at the age of 14, giving me a total of 15 years of experience as an engineer. Additionally, I trained in production at New York University where I worked on a variety of DAWs and analog recording consoles. These years allowed me to experiment with crafting tones using tape machines and analog equipment as well as a variety of software plugins and instruments. I've had the honor of runnings sessions in studios such as Dave Grohl's Studio 606, The Village, Shelter Island, and 4th Street Recording. I currently produce out of my private studio in Los Angeles, CA.
Mastering:
I studied mastering with engineer Alan Silverman in an extensive 5 month course in 2015. I used this time to grow as a mastering engineer, learning many aspects of the art; finding my own techniques along the way. I now aim to address every detail and create finished products easily accessible in any listening setting. It's important for me to create a final product that can translate appropriately: having competitive loudness with tonal balance.
