I like to take another artist's song and vision and take it to another level. My experience with Fourth Estate, as well as contributing to many other projects and playing in countless cover bands, gives me a broad perspective in which to approach working with a variety of different artists. I am also very picky about sounds and tones and I think that translates in most of the projects I've produced.

I don't overdub, and I usually only do two or three takes for each piece. I make sure when I go in, I'm ready! So my costs are embarressingly low!
