Producer and engineer who prioritizes artist communication, comfort, and collaboration. I've always believed in making music in the most natural way possible. Demystifying the technical process and working closely with artists to achieve the sound they want, not just the first thing that pops into my head or something that is trendy. I started playing in bands in middle school. By High School I was producing records and promoting shows. Since 2023 I've been working professionally in the industry doing everything from assistant work on major label releases to continuing to executive produce independent LPs out of my home studio. Over my career I've worked across every genre you can think of and recorded both on a Chromebook in a school hallway and a SSL console in a pro studio.
