A little bit about my work
Records I’ve produced, mixed and written have collectively over 50 million streams on Spotify. I’ve worked with indie artists as well as major label artists (Island, Atlantic, UMG). My focus is on helping artists find their authentic sound.
I am also one half of the band Eighty Ninety. The band’s first single "Three Thirty" charted #2 on Spotify's Global Viral playlist and #23 on the Billboard velocity chart. We had the incredible fortune to witness Taylor Swift hand pick our follow up single “Your Favorite Song” for her official Spotify playlist “Songs Taylor Loves.” (Side note to Swifties: it was track 13).
I have played guitar and engineered on records by James Bay, Marshmellow, Mimi Webb and Ben Platt. Had the pleasure of mixing a live version of James Bay’s (+ Mashmellow and Alesso) song “Chasing Stars, and playing electric guitars on John Legend’s song “I Don’t Love You Like I Used To.”
Fav indie projects include Eighty Ninety, Groupthink, Su Lee, Middle Youth (my solo project), Chloe Berry, Frawley, Bell the Band, Cade Hoppe, Maddie Regent, Aaron Taos, Sorcha Richardson and Stevie Wolf. (Many included in reel below).
In the indie world my productions, mixes and songs have been featured on over a dozen Spotify New Music Friday playlists as well as official Spotify playlists: Global Viral Chart, US Viral Chart, Canadian Viral Chart, Pop Rising, Viral Hits, Soda, Fresh Finds, Indie Pop, Anit-Pop (#2) Chill Vibes, Weekly Buzz, Relax & Unwind, Mood Booster, Indie Acoustic, Night Pop, MTV Radar and more. Press features of my work include Billboard, Ones To Watch, NME, Galore, Glamor, People Magazine, LadyGunn, Indie Shuffle and FADER. Specific details on each production, mix and artist can be found below in my reel.
