How did you become a producer/sound engineer?
I stumbled into audio production by accident. After being a singer-songwriter for several years, I ventured into making my own demos with the goal of improving my songwriting arrangements. Once I began producing my own tracks, I realized that I love producing more than any other aspect of making music. I threw myself into learning everything I could about production, engineering, mixing, and sound design. Eventually, I was able to develop my own sound and build a career that blends my artistry and production skills.
