Hi, I'm a musician who specializes in music production, audio engineering, sound design, and audio restoration from Los Angeles. I’m a Berklee College of Music MP&E graduate with over 81M+ streams across records I’ve mixed, engineered, or produced. My background spans studio recording, vocal production, mixing, audio restoration, and post-production for podcasts and video. What sets me apart is my ability to combine high-level technical precision with a musical, artist-first approach—whether I’m cleaning and enhancing dialogue, sculpting a signature vocal sound, or building full productions from scratch. I’ve engineered major-label and indie artists alike, working across Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, and experimental genres, and bring more than a decade of hands-on Pro Tools expertise to every project.
