Work Experience

CEO, producer and engineer at ToneCrafters
January 1, 2015 - Present
After 25 years in the music industry I have billboard number 1’s in Gospel, Hip Hop and Country album charts. Today, I specialize in crafting music that may fit into a few boxes—rock that aches, gospel that growls, hip hop with heart, jazz with edge. I work with artists who have stories to tell and something stirring in their chest. Together, we set the tone and craft the sound that feels alive. ToneCrafters is where that magic happens. I bring the same curiosity and care to every session—tracking, mixing, or mastering—so the final result speaks loud and clear: this is your sound, fully realized.
