My music production process is a blend of traditional songwriting and cutting-edge AI.
It all starts with the human touch: I craft the lyrics and song structures myself.
From these foundational elements, I then bring the songs to life using synthetic voices and musicians.

My roots in music stretch back to the 1970s, where I honed my skills as a drummer in the local harmony.
The 1990s marked a pivotal moment with the advent of MIDI, opening up new avenues for instrumental composition.
The early 2000s saw me dive deep into Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), and during that time, I also picked up the guitar.
Since 2024, integrating AI into my workflow has been a transformative experience.
It has unlocked unprecedented creative possibilities, providing access to a vast array of virtuoso vocalists and instruments, from intricate acoustic guitar arrangements to full orchestras.
