Love Music : What kind of training have you had, if any ?

I'm a strong believer in self teaching, there is no better way to learn than by trial and error.

Mixing and Mastering isn’t something that can be learned overnight. It takes years of practice to obtain the skills needed and to train your ears. If its something you want to do, you must learn to be patient and accept failure, the only way to get better is from your mistakes. Work hard and never give up.

Love Music : What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

I want to be able to continue to help artists succeed in the music industry for the rest of my life. The world runs on music and the artists are the ones providing the fuel.
