FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Oh yes. Im constantly studying. Anything from 17th century figured bass to new methods of side-chaining in electronica. And I constantly watch out for the newest gear, seeing if anything fits into my philosophy of combining simple tools of the absolute highest quality.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was working in TV commercials, making music for big brands like Wendys, MTV, VH1. I decided I wanted to record independent artists and figure out a way to survive doing it. Luckily in Portland theres a community of artists who really appreciate my skill set and want to keep me around. Its great.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Vocal production is a big part of my work, and I also do a lot of instrumental recording, composition for albums, mixing, mastering, consulting. I teach vocalists singing as well - some of them like to get a few months of foundational training before going to the recording stage. It's always something new, whether in folk, world, hip hop, or rock, I am booked on either short or long sessions pretty much every single day.
