The Future
Having been involved with music, and especially a cappella for many years, I know the struggle of trying to get one’s music out there. After months of work and going through 4-5 different people to arrange and produce each step of a song, not only are miscommunications a likely possibility, but it’s a process that can often cost upwards of $1,500 per song.
My ultimate goal is to one day be able to ease this process and offer my services as a package deal: a one-stop shop that includes arranging, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and is provided in the quickest, most cost-effective way possible, all while ensuring the best quality product and being a valuable contribution to the greater a cappella community and musicians at large.
