Summary

As a versatile and passionate music professional, I guide artists through the full creative and technical process of making a song from the ground up. At my home studio, I welcome artists and begin by listening to their vision—allowing them to express what they want to create. I then compose and structure the song, taking on the role of executive producer to oversee and shape the entire project.

From there, I handle all aspects of audio engineering: recording, mixing, and mastering the final track to industry standards. I also assist with the strategic side—helping artists with rollout plans, publishing, and digital distribution to ensure their work reaches the right audience.

This hands-on, all-in-one approach has allowed me to develop strong skills in music production, artist collaboration, project management, and technical engineering. I’m now looking for internship opportunities where I can continue to grow, contribute my experience, and learn within a professional environment.
