I make music

I am a musician, producer, performer, and voice freak with a highly creative mind. Writing, recording, producing and releasing music in multiple genres; alt-pop, hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and ambient as well as compose music and soundscapes for film, TV, and installation work. Song writing, composition, arranging, keys, lyricism, midi programming, singing, recording & production… I love to make music, tell stories, and acquire new experience.

I teach and offer mentorship in music production ; using a DAW, making beats, recording, engineering. Perhaps you are brand new to production and want to just get started in a software, perhaps you need help completing that EP you’re sitting on, maybe you’re advancing your skills and navigating the infinaty loop that is music and music production.

I support artists across genres with the fulfilment of their musical projects from creative ideation through short and long-term mentorships through full release roll outs.

I teach & mentor

As soon as I am learning a skill I’m teaching it. That is how I have learned throughout my life and that continues today. I love empowering folks with new skills, improved skills, and deeper access to their creative voice.

These are custom-built offerings shaped around your specific goals. Perhaps you are brand new to production and want to get started in a new piece of software, perhaps you need help completing that EP project you’re sitting on, maybe you need some help advancing your skills and navigating the infinity loop that is music and music production.

I teach voice; both for recording and performing as well as to meet your vocal goals whatever they may be. I have trained as a vocalist since I was a child in Jazz, opera, pop and rock style. I love exploring the voice in a supportive environment. The voice can be an emotional place and learning proper technique can be empowering and freeing and at times intimidating. You’re in good hands.

I offer sessions on songwriting, music theory education, project consulting, and grant-writing for folks who want to take their projects to another level.

Whatever your goals are for your sound I can help.
