EXPERIENCE
Freelance Recording and Mix Engineer May 2017 - Present
My Job is to record, mix, master and often time produce artists that come to me. My goal is to give the artist a polished product of what they hear in their head. I do this by giving them a space they feel comfortable to create in. Also by making edits on the go and communicating with the artist in terms they understand so I can mix to their artistic direction.
Academic Experience Projects

Produced, Tracked, Mixed and Mastered tracks for various recording artists ( Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, Jazz, Punk and Alternative music)
Used Consoles in combination with external hardware to track musical assets including Drums, Guitar, Keys, Bass, Percussion, Brass, and vocals through vintage and new tube gear
Tracked sessions to Pro Tools, used hybrid mixing with a blend of plugins and different hardware gear including compressors, EQs, and preamps
