I've been obsessed with music from a very early age, and finally decided to pick up a guitar for the first time at 12 years old. Within a year, I was starting bands and performing live. In an effort to get the music playing in my head out into this world I started producing my own demos on the family computer. It was then that I started to became very intrigued by the recording process and all that was possible within my DAW. It was the process of trial and error that made me fall in love with the idea of audio engineering and being able to create compelling musical experiences like I was used to hearing on my favorite records. Fast forward several years, I've had the opportunity to study audio engineering at SAE Institute in Miami, and have had many opportunities to work with and alongside many talented artists, musicians, and engineers which have inspired me to constantly refine my skills as a producer and musician. As important as knowledge and skill are, ultimately music is art and needs to be treated as such. Bringing an artist's vision to life is a sacred process, so above all else my focus is on always making sure that your voice is heard and your musical vision realized.
