Berklee College of Music (Independent Recording & Production ’25) graduate and Toronto-based producer, mixer, and multi-instrumentalist. I help artists turn demos, voice memos, or rough recordings into release-ready songs while preserving their unique sound and personality.
Comfortable across indie rock, folk, alternative, singer-songwriter, pop, and genre-blending projects. I can contribute arrangement, instrumentation, programming, guitar, keys, editing, mixing, and mastering - fully remote or local collaboration.
Whether you’re building your first single or developing a full project, I focus on making records that feel authentic, emotionally impactful, and competitive with current releases.
Open to production work, mixing, session playing, songwriting collaboration, and artist development.
