I'm a multiple Grammy recognized recording and mix engineer with 25 years of experience, based in Charlotte, NC. In my early career, I focused exclusively on major label acts and working at prominent studios in my hometown of Philadelphia, PA. That experience led me to winning a Grammy with Justin Timberlake, and two nominations with The Roots and Musiq Soulchild. Other artists I worked with during that time include Mariah Carey, Jill Scott, Timbaland and Tye Tribbet. After relocating to Charlotte in 2016, I opened a boutique studio focusing primarily on various aspects of audio beyond music such as podcast editing, audio sweetening and music supervision. However, I haven't left music behind and I work closely with emerging artists to help them establish their own legacy.
