About Me

LOOKING FOR AN ENGINEER?
I've done quality recording and mixing for some of Chicago's finest including, Akbar , Mint , Side Streetz , Bran-X , Lone Gunmen Crew , Phantem81 , Kalizion , Black God Father,and others, as well as underground legend, Rise, from New York. Versatility? Yup I can also handle your rock project. I've worked with local artists Jay O' Malley , Ronny Criss , Matt Anderson, and put in plenty of internship hours while at school with big time rock groups such as Bumpus , Oh My God , and even helped out on a Goo Goo Dolls project.
Where I'm at right now is just that I love music. It's art, its beautiful, especially when the artist is true to themselves. I love even more being able to help people with their music. I went to 3 different colleges and changed my major 4 times before I found one I liked. Took 6 1/2 years to gradute! But when I did graduate I got the Sound Engineering degree and I hit the nail on the fawkin head. I love tracking sessions. I love mixing sessions. I love helping people get the best out of themselves and I love bouncing random creative ideas back and forth with an artist as we complete the process. Shit I even love helping artists make phone calls, edit their MySpace pages, design CD graphics, and even better, acting as interim 'Manager.' If you need some Pro Tools tips, or help with internet stuff, or of course if you need to get some recording/ mixing/ engineering done GET AT ME! I'll talk to anyone about anything. If I can help, I'll let you know straight up. If I can't, I might be able to reccomend a trusted contact who can. If your job is big and I need to be compensated, I'll let you know right off the bat and I will complete the job exactly as I say I will, no bullshit. Really I just love to be a part of the process in any way, so take a minute to send me a message and I'll let you know if I can give you a hand...
I have access to some of the best studios in the city of Chicago. Get in touch with me, we'll chat about your project and I can decide which studio would be best for what you need to get done.
FREE DEMO REEL CD's ARE AVAILABLE. Want to hear samples of some of my work before you schedule time with me? Send me a message here with an address, I'll mail the cd the next day.C.H.U.D rocks the booth @ Gravity Studios
