Producer / Engineer / Artist Development
—
I have been making music my whole life. I started playing guitar when I was 5. I lived through the grunge era rocking out in the basement with my brother and drummer. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in Audio Production. When I graduated in 2002 Napster forced me to pivot. I dabbled in commercial music production aka jingles with a company in Chicago before finding my way into video production and creative direction.
Producing music is my flow state. I look for interesting artists that I can further develop. I'm open to all genres, but most of the time I'm listening to something with a good beat. I have a fondness for Bossa Nova, Mac Miller, Ra Ra Riot, Tyler The Creator, Hall & Oats, Petite Biscuit, Carly Rae Jepsen, A Tribe Called Quest, and Anderson Paak just to name a few.
In addition to producing music I can produce the artist including creative strategy and EPKs.
