FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is different for every job, because every job is different. The main factors are travel distance and hours worked.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will start by asking questions aimed at understanding exactly what the client is looking for. Then I will start moving in that direction, keeping my antennae alert for signs of satisfaction/dissatisfaction. My view is, the client is the artist, and I can help achieve artistic satisfaction by paying attention.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in psychology. I believe this contributes to how I relate to others and my ability to be introspective and psychological in my analysis of relationships and art and my approach toward these things. I have a TEFL certification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). This certification and experience helps me relate to and coach and work with others with small group dynamics. I have a PASA certification (Kitesurfing). Similar to the TEFL, this certification and work experience has helped me with one on one and small group dynamics. I have experience paying attention to detail, looking for improvement opportunities. In addition to my own recording endeavors over 15 years, including the production of two full length albums, I have helped produce and record upwards of 200 original songs by songwriter Nathan Douglas over the most recent 3 years. As a result of this project, I have worked with dozens of artists that were hired to perform the songs. I consider this training because it was intensive and hands on. I have also pioneered projects of my own in which I worked with local artists and hobbyists to create audio (and video) content that elevated what they were doing by themselves. I went on a three month long self-financed tour around the southern US and to the southern tip of Baja California (Mexico). I have performance experience around the world (China, UK, Ireland, Morocco, Argentina). I have been creator and host for a multitude of events.
