I am a 21-year-old post-graduate session musician, producer, sound engineer, and teacher. I specialize in playing drums, bass, acoustic and electric guitar, with adaptability to genre, with my most comfortable genres including indie rock, indie pop, grunge, post punk, dream pop, shoegaze, and new wave. I possess skills in production and sound engineering with a shared 3 years of experience behind me and a bachelor's degree from Waterbear - College of Music. I've been working for numerous bands, DJs, and solo artists in both roles, aiming to capture and relay the perfect sonic depiction of the artist's vision. My specialties include mixing and innovation in my work to get a complete and unique sonic output. My main DAW is Logic Pro X with some experience in Pro Tools. In teaching, I have 10+ years of playing bass, drums, and guitar achieving Grade 8 in drums and self-taught on bass. I have been teaching for a year and can tailor lessons from beginner to intermediate students.
