Mix & Mastering engineer with 8 years of experience and a degree in audio. Specializing in Hip-Hop, Rock, Pop.
My goal is to deliver the best sounding mix and master possible for each and every artist. I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure you're satisfied.
I have been mixing and mastering for 8 years. In 2016, I obtained my audio degree from the Sheffield Institute of the Recording Arts with a 4.0 GPA. I have worked as an audio instructor and public school business teacher for a years. I am located in Maryland, and have a hybrid home studio. I have worked with many local artists doing studio and live sound work including Trace Adkins, Tony Krav, Anoxex, Baby Bluw, Pasadena, Kenny Baquol and more. I specialize in Hip-Hop, Rock, and Pop genres, however I love mixing all styles of music.
For Mixing & Mastering I work in Pro Tools, but am able to open sessions from other DAWs including: Ableton, Logic, or Studio One. My home studio is equipped with a hybrid setup, and a fleet of industry standard plugins. For Beatmaking and Composition, I work in FL Studio.
Contact me with any questions regarding your project, I look forward to working with you!

Mixing
"Sound mixing is a combination of art and technology with the end goal of creating a new sonic reality. A good mix is not good enough if only the technical aspects are taken into consideration; it must also transmit a song’s message and enhance its emotions. A mixing engineer tows this line carefully, always putting the musical aspects first and foremost, while applying their technical skills, deep knowledge of processing gear, and interpretation of visual levels to accomplish an artistic result." - Berklee School of Music
Mastering
"Mastering a song involves taking a mix and putting the final touches on it by elevating certain sonic characteristics. This can involve aspects like adjusting levels, applying stereo enhancement, and monitoring for clicks and pops–anything that could distract the listener from the music. The end result is a polished, clean sound that is optimized for consistent playback across different formats and systems." - Izotope
