As I finished up my degree in Political Economy, something felt wrong in my heart. I knew I always loved music and cared so much about the tiny details artists would include. I didn't realize I was training myself to become an audio mix engineer. With my added passion for film, my direction into film scoring made sense as well. Combining sonic textures with emotional mixing is exactly where I belong. I hope this serves as a good starting point.
Music allows us to understand the different ways we all perceive the world. It gives me the right channels to feel a range of emotions and to hear various perspectives on personal issues. Music is more than entertainment, it is cathartic at every turn.
I would love to just make music and engineer, whatever that means.

It's power to evoke emotion. Not only can I experience these feelings, but it's amazing to know I can share my own fears and joys with the world.
I want my music to feel like home.
Electrified. If the crowd is enjoying it, I have a better time.
Music is easily pushed into a track-by-track hole where singles and hits are more important than anything. Really, you have to be "playlist worthy". I wish people were more open to letting music be boring for the first 30 seconds. Some of my favorite music takes time to really kick in, but it's always earned.
It's new, I like the easy flow to it
Not having the skillset to achieve every possible idea that comes to mind.
I attend concerts and other live events featuring my favorite artists
They should stick true to what they enjoy. Don't give up personal flavor for popular taste. The fans will follow, even if it takes time to get used to new sonic territory. But never, ever be boring or repetitive.
