About Me

My journey in the world of sound started as a child, collecting noise makers, banging on pots and pans, and endlessly fascinated by anything that produced a sound. At an early age, I was sat down in front of a piano to begin my path towards life as an instrumentalist. That path ultimately led me through years of study and performing all kinds of music from Jazz to Rock, Brazilian music, Hip Hop, Soul and beyond.

At a certain point, as happens to many young musicians, I was faced with the daunting task of trying to record the music we so loved playing. Born out of this necessity, I dove headfirst into the world of recorded sound and found a new universe waiting to be revealed.

A desire for hands on learning led me to the San Francisco State University Music and Recording Industry program, where I had the opportunity to deepen my skills and understanding, and to ultimately find mentorship from a Grammy winning engineer and producer, along with a job in a studio, where I learned the ropes of working in a professional environment.

For the next decade I worked tirelessly, gathering experience and honing my skills in a broad variety of genres and engineering disciplines, working with artists to achieve their creative visions and beyond.

In this time I have had the opportunity to work on countless projects from all kinds artists, from recording to mixing, mastering, producing and audio post production.

I believe the client comes first, and that it is my job to support the actualization of their goals, to help to guide the process to be as streamlined and efficient as possible, while maintaining a high professional standard and delivering an exemplary product.

My clients leave happy, with a result they are proud of, while feeling heard and supported along the way.
