About

With over 13 years of professional experience as a composer and sound designer, I am passionate about sharing the art and craft of electronic music production. My approach emphasizes authenticity, utilizing custom sounds, field recordings, and programming to create unique audio experiences. As an experienced educator with Soundfly, I enjoy mentoring students in DAW-based production, mixing, and sound design. With expertise spanning Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools, synthesis, mixing, mastering, beat production and creating/organizing sample libraries. I am dedicated to inspiring the next generation of music creators through a hands-on, creative, and technology-driven approach.

Teaching Style

I take a hands-on, practical approach to teaching electronic music production, ensuring each lesson is both engaging and actionable. My style focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, supported by detailed PDFs that include clickable links to narrated video tutorials. These resources allow students to learn at their own pace while providing clear, visual, and auditory guidance to reinforce key techniques. Whether it's mastering a DAW, crafting unique sounds, or perfecting a mix, my goal is to empower students with the skills and confidence to create their own music.
