Story

I've been recording and producing local bands since 2014 professionally.. however, the final mastering was always outsourced and never came back with the results my clients demanded. So, I decided to take online courses and studied under some of top producers. I invested in myself and spent a lot of money getting gear and software and continue to keep up with the industry standards. I concentrated mastering for social media such as YouTube and FaceBook, ect. My clients also wanted to be able to sell their songs on iTunes . That's when I got serious and started understand how many formats there are and the specifications required for all media. I'm at a point where I'd like to breakout of being unknown and aspire to being a known producer. That's why I'm joining Drooble in hopes that I get feedback on my projects. I'm looking forward to making connections and also maybe helping out folks along the way.
