Over the years I  have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of artists including many prominent acts as well as those just discovering their unique voices.  Through all of these experiences, my obsession with capturing the best sound, performance and energy has never waned. In my teenage years, I discovered that I had an appreciation for writing and recording music. By age 15, I was out playing clubs and eventually I began to carve a niche for myself as an independent artist and musician. In 2001, I built my first studio in Encino, California called Skylab Studio.

Today, with over 2 decades of professional production experience and having had my own songs on radio, in movies, video games and commercials, I still feel that same enthusiasm that captured me as a teenager. I treat each and every artist with respect and a personal willingness to create the best possible result.
