Greetings—I’m a Chicago-based musician, producer and engineer. My aim is to work collaboratively toward a finished product that reflects the character, emotion and personal story underlying music. What are the core sentiments, and how in turn, can we ensure the performances, arrangement, and sound-choices elevate those sentiments? Sometimes, its the process itself that reveals the answers…
Ultimately I try to approach every project as a beginner—open to stumbling on new ways of working, and open to the perspectives of everyone involved. Some artists just need a producer/engineer to capture what they’re already doing, and others are looking for outside perspective and direct engagement in the process.
If you’re looking for someone to help out with your next project, please send me a message. I’d love to hear about your project, and you can rest assured that if I don’t feel I’m the person you should be talking to, I’ll always say so.
