About

I’m a producer, DJ, drummer, and event organizer who’s been deep in the electronic music world for over a decade. My sound leans toward experimental bass and cinematic textures, where heavy low end meets atmosphere and detail. Outside the studio, I run a live events company that pushes underground talent and builds nights that hit hard and stick in people’s memory.

I teach music production, sound design, mixing, mastering, DJing, and performance skills. Whether it’s carving out bass that shakes a system, dialing in sound design that feels otherworldly, or learning how to move a crowd from behind the decks, I bring real-world knowledge from years on both sides of the stage. Lessons are built around your goals, with a focus on getting your tracks and performances to hit at a professional level.

My approach is straightforward: cut through the noise, sharpen your craft, and make music that feels alive. If you’re ready to develop your own sound and presence, I’d be stoked to help you get there.

Teaching Style

My approach is hands-on and tailored to each student. I believe the best way to learn is by creating, so we’ll focus on real projects and skills you can use right away. I mix technical depth with creative freedom, breaking down complex ideas into clear steps while leaving plenty of room for experimentation. Expect direct feedback, honest critique, and strategies that come from real-world production and performance, not just theory.

Whether we’re working on production, DJing, or sound design, I aim to keep lessons focused, practical, and inspiring. You’ll walk away from each session with something new you can apply immediately, and a clearer vision for your sound and growth as an artist.
