I am a professional Recording Engineer/Mixer/Producer
I am a musician by choice but have been an engineer for 13 years , I have worked and it has been my privilege to have worked with lots 'o' bands and lots 'o' (and counting) Solo artists; I enjoy all music and am a Seasoned Engineer, I prefer the rock genre and have done Many Many,Many Rock / Metal / Screamo/Thrash/ DeathMetal/ and Hardcore / Progressive Metal artists but that by no means doesnt mean I cant handle what ever situation comes my way , I have Numerous Gospel records under my belt as well, and Lots of PowerPunk..... I am Extremely Dilligent, and will give you what you want and usually under budget, I have worked on Numerous Major releases with Producers such as Edwin Ramos, (Mary J Blige, Kci and JoJO,angie stone...etc) So If you want that major Label Sound, and Punch give me a jingle or Hit Me up Here!!! I will get it done!!

I play guitar and various other instruments but my strongest being guitar, I also can scream with the best of them!!!

and that loves to be around music and musicians and of course I would love to meet Selma Hayek AND THE MEMBERS OF IRON MAIDEN AND WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE KNOWN CRISS OLIVA R.I.P (OF SAVATAGE)">
