The Sonic Artist
For artists who don't want to sound like everyone else— I make your music sound MORE like what it already is.
im Here For:
Rappers sampling soul records over drill production.
Singers with R&B runs and punk rock attitude.
Soft vocals over aggressive beats.
Lo-fi bedroom recordings that don't want to sound lo-fi.
Gospel influence meeting dark, moody production.
The artist blending stuff that's not supposed to work together—but does.
Your music lives somewhere between polished and raw. Between what exists and what doesn't yet.
If your Spotify "Similar Artists" section is a mess, or people can't figure out what genre you are, or you're just making something that doesn't have a name…
That's what I'm into.
Let the sonics speak
Level matched comparisons, so loudness is not decieving.

About x
Started making music at 15 with FL Studio.
Dell laptop, Blue Yeti, bedroom that wasn't treated.
Spent a lot of late nights watching YouTube tutorials,
trying to figure out why my mixes didn't sound like
what I heard in my head.
You know that frustration—when you hear exactly how
it should sound, but you can't get it there?
Eventually figured it out.
Went to Full Sail, graduated in 2020. Worked 4 years at
Rhythm House Studios outside of Pittsburgh. Learned the technical side.
But I also learned the artists I did my best work with
were the ones taking creative risks. Making stuff that
didn't fit templates. They needed someone who'd lean
into what made them different, not polish it safer.
That's what I'm about now.
If you're building your sound and taking creative risks,
we should work together.
You'll get there faster with someone who gets your vision and is invested in your best.
I'm selective—creative fit matters more than followers or budget.
Best results happen when we both hear the same thing.
11 years doing this. Pittsburgh-based, working with artists worldwide.
If you're serious about your sound and willing to push boundaries,
let's talk.

My Process
1. Creative Discussion
We hop on a call to make sure we're creatively aligned. I'll listen to your music, understand your vision, and give honest feedback if needed. Sometimes that means suggestions on the recording. Sometimes it means confirming we're a good fit.
If it makes sense to work together, we move forward. If not, no pressure.
First-time clients: This call is required.
2. File Delivery
Send me your stems or track-outs as WAV files.
Include:
- Your demo/rough mix
- 2-3 reference tracks
- Notes on what you want to keep raw vs. polished
I'll send you a detailed prep guide once we're booked.
3. The WOrk
Standard turnaround: 3-5 days
Rush available: 24-48 hours if you need it
I'll lock in your timeline during our creative discussion so there are no surprises.
4. Revisions
Here's what I recommend:
Listen to the mix on multiple systems—your car, headphones,
a Bluetooth speaker, wherever you actually hear music. Not
just your studio setup.
Take notes over a few days. First impressions matter, but
so does living with it.
Then send me your feedback. We revise until you're 100%
satisfied with how it sounds.
No limit on revisions. I want you to love this.
5.Approval
Once approved, you get:
- Main mix (clean + explicit versions)
- Instrumental
- TV mix (broadcast-safe)
- Any other formats you need for distribution
Ready to upload and release.
My Approach
I'm here to be an artist at what I do, like you're an artist at what you do.
Every project is different, but the approach stays the same—
liberating you sonically, empowering your spirited creativity,
and helping turn your vision into real accomplishments.
I start by understanding what you're going for. Listen to
your references. Figure out what you want to keep raw and
what needs polish.
Then I handle the technical side so you can focus on creating.
I'm making decisions throughout the mix that serve YOUR vision.
If something's too safe, I push it. If the grit needs to cut
through, I make it happen. If your timing is unconventional
on purpose, I lean into that tension.
The goal is making music that sounds like what you heard in
your head—but gives you the confidence to know it can compete
with anything out there.
It's collaborative. We revise until you love it and feel inspired to create even more.
Your sound, realized.

Beyond locking in the sonics, every creative decision I make serves your vision. Sometimes that means leaning into what makes you different instead of polishing it safe.

Mastering is the Big picture—making sure it’s maintained.
