Recording/Studio Work

I have been working with audio in many ways for about a decade. Working with other artist while recording, mixing, mastering, or producing is an important part of the creative process. Below is a video of some projects I have done and the many ways I can collaborate with you and your music. In addition, I have also included some full tacks to listen to with a description of each.
