About
I’m a versatile music producer and multi-instrumentalist based in Arizona with over a decade of experience spanning studio production, live worship leadership, and K–8 music education. I specialize in vocal-forward Soul, Gospel, Pop, R&B, cinematic, and Hip-Hop—blending emotional storytelling with detailed arrangement and mix-ready polish. I primarily work in Ableton Live, with additional experience in Logic Pro and Pro Tools.
Since 2012, I’ve worked as a freelance producer and collaborator, offering beatmaking, sample-based composition, vocal production, and full-track builds for artists, churches, and creative teams. I’ve also led worship teams, taught general music, and currently serve as State Coordinator for Worship Support Network, managing musicians and tech professionals across 250+ churches. I bring musical sensitivity, technical skill, and clear communication to every project I take on.
