Sounds Like: I like stuff. I am always down to help with melodies, changes and hooks. Not much of a lyricist but I can put YOUR words into a piece and give you any and all harmonic possibilities. I work well with drum programming and editing loops. Keyboards are my main specialty. I love basic traditional sounds but also have an extensive analog keyboard collection and knowledge.
