PROduction
Being a part of the creative process and turning your ideas into reality is what I live for.
As a musician and an engineer, producing music comes naturally to me. My understanding of playing music informs the engineering process, and vice versa, enhancing the final outcome. With Shut Up & Play, you get more than just a recording.
Engineering
Recording, mixing, and live audio
Constantly searching for knowledge while recording and mixing my own bands' songs for years, and studying under several mix engineers - including Steve Marcantonio and Jonathan Crone - developed my ears and skill. Additionally, critically listening to many different types of mixes grew my understanding of what makes a great, timeless recording and mix.
Working regularly in a variety of live venues around Franklin and Nashville gave me rigorous training on how to mix live audio.
Guitar
Sessions & Live Shows
I have been a passionate guitarist since the age of 10. recording guitar for years in my bedroom taught me about great guitar tones and parts, which has translated well to the recording sessions I work on. Playing in multiple bands since I was a teenager has taught me about the unique space guitar fills and how to best complement and play with other musicians for the best end result.
