How did music become your passion?
“When I was a kid, there were plenty of times at my Dad’s where we didn’t have cable so he used to just play music or watch music videos that he recorded. When I think about memories from back then I can always hear music playing. I also associate every sound, letter, and number to colors. So with engineering, I’m able to manipulate each element of a song to match the color/tone that I see/hear.”
What type of music do you make?
“I record and mix (and sometimes master) rap / hip hop / r&b music.”
What other hobbies do you have?
“I’m a father now so I constantly asked to be all kinds of things that my daughter can climb/jump/hit on. So I love that. I am a husband. Simply put, my wife is my best friend and encourages me to be uncomfortable. That’s whre growth lives. She supports my vision 100% and she’s nice with the camera! I am also into health and fitness so being active is a must for me.”
Anything else you want your fans to know about you?
“Never quit. Ever.”
