I am capable of recording, editing, and polishing everything on my own. I have the ability to be incredibly imaginative and creative, but I also can do very well with specific directions. I work hard, plain and simple, and I work with haste and efficiency. I don't settle for something half-baked, I put everything I have into a project. I can handle requests of any shape and size, and I'm always excited to try something new.
