Music Production
I work with artists from all over the world and most of my productions are done remotely which means that you only need a basic recording setup and an internet connection if you want me to produce your song.
When I’m producing a song I also Mix and Master it which means that you get a final master that you can upload directly to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube etc and submit it to Record Labels, Music Blogs, Publishers and Radio Stations.
As a producer I will play different instruments (Guitar, Bass, Piano, Keys, Synths), Program Drums / Beats, create Live String Arrangements and if necessary hire additional musicians if you want to add a live drummer or backing vocalist for example.
I regularly ask for your feedback as I develop the arrangement and make sure that you are satisfied with the sound and texture of every instrument that we add to the song.
I have a highly minimalist approach when it comes to music production which means that I do not overproduce the song and only add what is necessary. I find that working in this way simplifies the process and enables me to work faster and achieve an organic and well defined sound.
I believe that communication plays a huge role in music production. Whether its done in person or remotely, I will involve you as much as possible by asking the right questions and informing you about the decisions I make.
I DON’T ask for shares of copyright / royalties which means that you own 100% of the production (Work For Hire).

Mixing
When Mixing a song, I keep the main elements (vocals, drums, bass etc) loud and clear while placing other elements in the background in order to achieve a 3D sound with natural depth. I give every instrument its own space and character so that it compliments other instruments with an opposite character.
I have simplified my workflow over the years and developed a unique way of experimenting with effects and programming automation to make sure that the song has a natural flow that keeps the listener engaged.
Mix / song Feedback
If you are already mixing on your own but have doubts about the quality of your mixes, I offer comprehensive mix feedback with detailed instructions on how to improve each part of the mix.
If you’re in the process of writing or producing a song and need feedback on the general structure, melody, arrangement, choice of key etc, I can also give you detailed feedback on the musical aspects of your song.
Mastering
Mastering is the process of giving your mix a final touch and making sure that it is ready for release. In album mastering a big part of the process is making sure that the tracks fit together as a whole and have a homogeneous sound and character.
My mastering workflow starts with listening to your track and comparing it to the provided reference tracks. This helps me to understand your taste and conclude if there is anything that could be improved in the mix. If the mix can be improved, I let you know what needs to be done and once the adjustments are made, I start mastering the track. I find that working in this way will help you get the most out of the process and improve the quality of your mixes and productions over time.
Stem Mastering
Stem Mastering means working individually on a number of summed tracks (Stems) such as drums, bass, guitars and vocals etc. Stem Mastering gives me more control and flexibility over the different elements in your mix which guarantees the best sounding results.
I believe that communication plays a huge role in mixing and mastering. Whether its done in person or remotely, I will involve you as much as possible by asking the right questions and informing you about the decisions I make.
