ABOUT

-Ive been producing for the last 10yrs. For the last 5yrs Ive been making a lot of electronic and dance music but Ive also have a huge interest and would like to get back into indie/ dreampop/ psychedelic / synth pop/ Chillwave/ shoegaze/ experimental stuff and try to find a way to combine them all into one.

-Ideally Id really like to find a vocalist to collaborate with and make some sort of indie/ synthy/ dreampop/ electronic/ Dancey project. Think Phantogram, The Kills, Crystal Castles (minus the misogyny), Tennis, The Shacks, Beach House, Oh Wonder, Purity Ring. Its a plus if said vocalist can do more than just sing, write lyrics/melodies but its not necessary since Im able to produce everything aside from the vocals. Thats super specific but alternatively, Im really open to anything.

-I play multiple instruments and would describe myself as a jack of all trades, master of none type. Im most comfortable musically in the production process but can and have played instruments live in bands.

-Im based in North Hollywood and have an acoustically treated home studio that can be used to create in. Cant really get super loud but never the less, its a thoroughly semi-pro recording setup.

Anyway, send me some stuff, and Im into it, Ill send some of mine and well be in touch.
