From there he would spend the next few years recording himself and others with a Dell laptop, Fl Studios, and a Blue Yeti.
When doing YouTube university throughout high school to get better at mixing music, he came across an interview with Young Thug’s engineer Alex Tumay that inspired him to go to Full Sail University online.

My Process
1. Creative Discussion
We hop on a call to connect to make sure everything makes sense before moving forward. Also when I give any feedback that may be necessary in achieving the full potential of your work. If it's our first time working together a consultation call will be needed.
2. File Delivery
I accept track-outs, stems and only Pro Tools sessions. For a more detailed explanation on how I prefer to receive audio assets, please click below.
3. Mixing or Mastering
Delivery time will vary depending on work being done, some mixes/masters can be delivered within 24 hours. This discussion will be had upfront so any expectations or deadlines can be established.
4. Revisions
I highly suggest listening to the mix/master on a system that you know well enough to determine how it will translate. I do revisions till you are 100% satisfied with the sound we have achieved.
5.Approval
Once approved I’ll deliever a Main, Clean, TV Mix, and Instrumental. Any other files or data that is needed can be discussed as well.

I take pride in making sure all my clients love how their music sounds when I’m completed with it. A satisfaction guarantee is what you receive, so your work is in great hands. I will not take on a project where I question myself on getting the end result you’re after. This protects your time and mine.

In our creative discussion before I take on the project we decide on how heavy handed you would like me to be in enhancing and transforming your music. Beyond locking in the sonics every creative decision I make is with the purpose of your vision in mind aligned with my taste to create emotional impact.

Mastering is the Big picture and making sure it’s maintained. There’s a good chance that Mastering music now is more important than ever before because of playlisting. Not only is Mastering the last 10% a record needs when it comes to being finished, but it makes sure you are at a competitive loudness with other contemporary music.
