Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I always ask if they have any preferences in term of sound. Choosing a reference track is a good move to understand each other in an objective way.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Customers usually want to listen something I made in the genre they're asking for, if it's something I never had the chance to work with and I am sure I can do it I just tell them to check my feedbacks. I am not worried of accepting something I have never worked on in terms of genre. I am a very experienced listened first, so I always like to bush my personal boundaries.

A: I usually work on all kind of electronic music.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: That I can't do anything else than electronic music. I work and listen to all kind of music.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Obviously my dream collab would be with Skrillex, he never miss a hit and he's so unique!

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I do my best to start working on a track from scratch already having in mind what I wanna get and how. The idea has to be clear and effective since the very beginning of the session.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: A mixture of them. Analog is warmer and musical but digital is limitless.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: If you have a clear and precise idea of what you need, it will be a pleasure to work together. I used to work with reference track for my clients, but I can also involve my own ideas if you want to.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I can be fire, I can be water :)

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: The main idea is the most important thing when producing a song, so make sure you have an effective and clear idea and lay it down very fast. Skills are useless if you are not saying anything new with your music.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I like to make music. Even if I have to work on something I don't like, it's a good chance to learn something new and to wider my horizons.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: Other than myths, laptop and headphones are enough :)

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Skrillex is a very talented producer, he brought an underground genre of music to be mainstream, and now he cover a very wide range of genres, keeping his identity. That's the answer.
