I’m a producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist with 20 years of experience helping artists, brands, and agencies bring their audio projects to life. My work spans custom music composition, full-song production,and audio editing/production - always with a focus on authenticity, creativity, and emotional impact. What often sets me apart is the ability to blend real instruments—drums, bass, keys, and guitar—with digital production. This gives my work a warmth and authenticity that purely sample-based tracks can’t match, while still delivering the polish and versatility today’s projects demand. My credits include creating custom music for a Super Bowl TV commercial, producing songs commissioned by USAID for the country of Pakistan and for a UAE Emirates polio campaign, and supplying original tracks for popular podcasts and music licensing agencies. I’ve also produced fully arranged, recorded, mixed, and mastered songs for artists across genres—from indie and folk to cinematic and electronic—always tailoring the sound to their unique vision. Clients who work with me value not only the end product but also my professionalism, reliability, and ability to make the creative process smooth and collaborative. Whether you need music that elevates a brand, supports a story, or brings an artist’s idea to life, I’d love to help make it happen. **UX Designer** Airbnb Inc. _January 2019 - March 2019_
