As a seasoned studio manager and audio professional, I have spent over four years stewarding high-traffic recording facilities in the Greater New Orleans area. In my current role as General Manager at Mid City Sound, I oversee daily operations for a professional room that sits within the Jet Life Records ecosystem. I balance technical workflows with top-tier client relations, coordinating complex session schedules and ensuring zero downtime while maintaining a productive and creatively charged environment for artists like Curren$y. Beyond management, I am a hands-on producer and engineer known as Flu. I have produced tracks for major releases, including Blog Air featuring Wiz Khalifa on Curren$y's 8/30, and Took a Risk by NoCap. These experiences have trained me to demand broadcast-ready audio, apply rigorous quality control, and support artists from concept through final mix. I bring that same standard of excellence to every project I manage, blending operational discipline with creative sensitivity.
