Hi! Thanks for stopping by my recording page to listen to some music! After spending many years as a musican/songwriter/singer, I became fascinated with producing, recording, and mixing through working with such inspirational producers as Gil Norton (Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen, Patti Smith), Dave Bryson (Counting Crows), Gregg Williams (Dandy Warhols), Matt Boudreau (Go Go Galaxian, Alexis Harte), and Joe Chiccarelli (Beck, American Music Club). I love to collaborate, and I find myself working mostly with solo artists, helping them take their songs to a more realized place, whatever that means….. I believe the vocals are the most critical element to expressing the song, so I like to approach making the track as creating an environment for the vocals. I want to be able to hear every breath and inflection of the singer, and my mixes tend to favor the vocals…a lot!

I am also in the band Stereovision, as well as half of the music scoring team Lift Music with my creative partner D Camp.

Thank you to the artists I’ve been fortunate enough to work with who graciously allowed me to post their songs on my page-- please click on their links below to find out more about them!
