The “WHY”
Music cuts deep to the heart, telling stories far beyond words. Let’s cast our minds back to a memory where a song had
a huge effect - what tune pops in your head? Really think about it. If that artist was standing right in front of you,
what would you say?
I remember sobbing my eyes out once to Coldplay’s “Fix You” - windows down, losing my voice, looping around the lake in Hayes’ gray Honda Fit - no need to go too deep, but anyone with air in their lungs has a core memory like that - and I’ll forever be grateful for Coldplay’s heart to take their music all the way.
Take just one more moment with me: literally close your eyes - it’s a bit silly, but go with it… and let’s imagine a world where your emotions and testimonies have now come vibrantly alive through professional, authentic recordings. Every note powerfully reflects where you’ve been, who you are, and where you’re going.
No doubt - your listener will be thanking you for inspiring their own transformative moment. What would that be worth?
Dollars and cents can’t compete.
Expressing those most vulnerable, intimate parts of your story through song is often an overwhelming journey - understandably so! From structuring raw ideas into thoughtful compositions, to navigating the technical audio engineering required to capture the most compelling sounds… it’s a weighty accomplishment to create a record that not only sounds great, but namely serves to evoke tangible feelings and provoke profound thoughts.
Whether crafting resonant lyrics, creating magnetic arrangements, or curating polished sounds, I am here to serve you while cultivating a nurturing space for your artistic growth. Together, we will set free and amplify the heartfelt truths woven in your music, ensuring your unique voice is both heard and felt.
You have a story - let’s tell it. The listener is waiting.

Drums and auxiliary percussion
Vocal arrangement and production
Keys and soundscape layering
Mandolin, ukulele, slide guitar, etc.

MASTERING
Mixing and mastering are the crucial steps in transforming a raw recording into a polished track that translates honestly across all playback systems - but most importantly, these refinements produce a track that creates a moment, pulling the listener into the world of the song.
Whether it’s mixing, mastering, or the whole polishing package, let’s work together to shape a sonic landscape that amplifies your core vision, elevating a song from good to unforgettable.
