The song “You” is a super fun, energetic song that I had the pleasure of working on with two of my good friends Kevin Ferreira and Hunter Ward. It is a Pop/Synth Pop song with catchy melodies and vocal hooks!
This is the second song I worked on with Hunter Ward, so to start off, I asked for the different vibes/genres that Hunter would love to work in, and after I did that, I opened up the project and started adding in different synth sounds that I felt would match the fun, catchy pop direction that we chose. I layered different synth melodies and pads to create a fun, full color palette for the song. From there, adding guitars, catchy vocals, bass, and fxs, we ended with a song that is still one of our favorites that we all worked on.
I showcase my high-quality production skills, as well as my mixing and mastering skills in this song. I was also able to showcase my melody creation/layering as well as my synth production in this song.

The song “Here I Lie” is one of my favorite songs I collaborated on. I got to work on this one with my good friend Kevin Ferreira. It is a Cinematic Acoustic song with story-like moments and a beautifully crafted build-up at the end of the song.
This song was created with syncing to TV/film in mind, specifically a series finale or a big twist in a show. We didn't know exactly where the song would be taken, but we got in the studio, recorded the main guitar progression, and from there, we could tell we were getting into that emotional, sorrowful feeling. Once the vocals and bass were added, we could tell we were getting into that strange, dystopian, cinematic universe. I layered different toy-like sounds with synths and Kevin's vocal layers to create this cinematic world you fall into when listening to this song.
I showcase my high-quality vocal production and production skills, as well as my mixing and mastering skills, in this song.

Acidic Downpour is a chaotic, energy-driven soundtrack that I produced for a sync music library. It is a Cyberpunk, Acid track with high energy and fast-paced, action-packed drops.
This track was a blast to produce. It was created for a sync music library, with the vibe of a fight scene/car chase in mind. I absolutely loved the production process for this track. I just opened the project and started with that iconic acid baseline that's heard throughout the track, and from there I just started placing layers on layers to make the drops sound absolutely full and powerful. Layered different basses, pads, leads, and FXs, I ended with a modern style cyberpunk track that I love listening back to.

This energy-packed track is one of my favorite remixes I have made. It is a remix of the song “Too Late” from an amazing artist and friend, Isaac Mather. It is an EDM Hype track with energy-driven sections and pumping drops.
When Isaac approached me with the idea for this remix, he was thinking energetic and hype. I took the ideas and stems he gave me, and started layering synths and guitars with different melodies from the original song, and from there, created the intro, verses, and drops of this remix. As I created the track, I would continually show him the progress, and in the end, the track ended up as a hype EDM remix.

This track was a lot of fun to make! It was my first time working with any type of video game, which was a lot of fun. They showed me different concept arts, plus their direction for the game and the boss fight. They wanted the track to be built into 3 stages of intensity, growing more intense with each stage. After some back and forth with ideas, we ended with this track you hear now. I loved putting together my different 8-bit instruments and layers to create this modern, full-sounding chiptune track.

The song “Come Back” is an edgy, dark song that I got to work on with my friend Kevin Ferreira. It is a Dark Pop, Cinematic song with tense atmospheres and dark production.
This song was a fun collaboration with Kevin. We wanted to grasp a certain cinematic vibe similar to Arcane, Billie Eilish, and Twenty One Pilots. This is another song that is now placed in a sync music library. For the production, we started with just a piano to get some melodies and vocal melody inspiration. From there, we started building this hybrid drop that uses distorted basses and weird synths on top of Lo-Fi chill drums and foley percussion. We ended up with a modern, dark song.
I showcase my high-quality vocal production and production skills, as well as my mixing and mastering skills in this song. I also showcase my dark cinematic production through my creative sound design, as well as my dark styled composition.
Street Lights is a tension-building soundtrack that I made for a sync music library. It is a Cinematic Electronic Soundscape track that is suspenseful and has a beautifully created build throughout the track.
This track was a very cool track to create. I used different layering techniques to create a clean build that stayed dynamic and interesting throughout the track. From the different bass pulses and driving staccato strings, to the energetic drums and massive electric guitars, this track displays a vast variety of different sounds and instruments. The track builds into a drop, then slowly dies away, ending as a fully dynamic soundtrack.

The song “You're For Me” is a happy, laid-back song that I had the pleasure of working on with my friends Kevin Ferreira and Hunter Ward. It is a Bedroom Pop/Melodic Rap song with catchy melodies and chill vibes
This song was such a fun collaboration to work on. It was made for a YouTube video I created (www.YouTube.com). We started just messing around with the instruments we had, which were a piano, guitar, and ukulele. From there, we found a chord progression we liked and recorded the guitar and ukulele. From there, I started getting a vision of the song in my head and had Hunter record a vocal melody that I later turned into a high-pitched vocal that became the foundation of the song. From there, the song was built up into a fun, catchy pop song.
I showcase my high-quality vocal production and production skills, as well as my mixing and mastering skills in this song. I also showcase my sound design skills through my use of creative vocal sound design and layering.
Colossal is an epic soundscape soundtrack that I made for a music brand. It is a Hybrid Cinematic Electronic Soundscape with ambient textures and orchestral percussive elements.
This track was part of a cinematic album I created for a music brand. They were looking for music that sounded elegant and intelligent. I used many different sound design techniques to create different ambient synths and textures to create a soundscape that gives space and emotion to the track. This track has a 3-section structure: an ambient soundscape, an energy-driven section, and then the final climax, merging the soundscape and energy, ending up with a hybrid, dynamic soundscape.
I showcase my high-quality production and composition skills, as well as my mixing and mastering skills. I also showcase my hybrid orchestral production skills through my use of layering orchestral percussion with modern sound design.
