Responsive Music

Production My role as a producer means doing whatever it takes to capture an artist's ideas and create a successful record. When making a record, I draw from both my creative and technical backgrounds. I work with artists and their songs to fill in the blanks, either by doing it myself or bringing in my talented friends to help. My goal as a producer is to marry together an artist's music with a unique sonic aesthetic that enhances the power of their record. Mixing Mixing is one of my favorite parts of making a record. It's the last opportunity to add (or subtract) energy to a song's production/arrangement. Although it can seem like it, creating a great mix isn't just a technical process. It's all about presenting the songs in a way that elicits emotion from the listeners. It's all about maximizing the impact of a song and directing the audience's attention towards the best elements of the production. Engineering I continue to cut my teeth in NYC as the house engineer at multiple studios, working with a wide array of artists on a daily basis. My approach when working as an engineer on a project is to make the raw recorded tracks sound as good as possible and as early as possible. When working as both the producer and engineer on a project, I'm able to begin establishing the shape of a song from the beginning. Consulting I team up with artists, companies, fellow producers and engineers to brainstorm, strategize and implement creative ideas. I understand the importance of social media and know how to maximize its impact. I enjoy studying and analyzing trends in all facets of the music business. By having worked with not just artists but also record and publishing companies, manufacturers, lawyers and promoters, I have gained a unique perspective and a wealth of contacts in the industry.
