“I have never met a player who has the ability to play so much, yet have the generosity in spirit to serve the songs best and play less…who will hear “the parts” before he plays them.” –Gene Kim, producer/engineer
Elevating the Artist through development. Great recordings begin with a great song. From pre-production development and tracking to overdubs and mixing, I try to give the artist a chance to realize the best recording they can make. In the studio, being prepared and organized makes for comfortable, fun, and creative sessions for all involved…where the artist can simply “be the artist” without worrying about logistics.
