I grew up inside video game soundtracks, anime scores, and movie themes, and playing Led Zeppelin covers with my classmates. I've been falling down musical rabbit holes ever since: Brazilian samba, Japanese city pop, 1920s swing, whatever I'm in the middle of now. My best work comes from splicing those worlds together.
After eight years running a company, I came back to music a different person. It gave me the half of the job most people skip: I show up prepared and things get finished. What pulls me in is the why in my favourite records, down to how the snare is tuned. Then I take it apart and build something of my own from the pieces. The good stuff comes from constraints and context.
Whatever the scale, a single part or a whole record, it's one instinct: putting sounds and people together into music that feels alive.
I can take a record the whole way: writing, playing, producing, and mixing, as deep in as the song needs, through to a finished master.
Best fits are artists with a clear vision and the drive to finish. I take on a few at a time.
