Audio Engineering
Collaborations with Local Artists:
My journey in audio engineering began in 2016, when I started by composing instrumentals using FL Studio. Since then, I’ve evolved to other production DAWs and had the privilege of collaborating with numerous local artists on a variety of projects. Through these collaborations, I’ve taken on roles such as audio engineer, recording, mixing, and occasionally mastering. I’ve also managed various aspects of project coordination to ensure smooth workflows and professional outcomes. I’ve worked with a diverse set of artists, refining my approach to capturing and enhancing their unique sounds.
Personal Music Brand and Projects:
Alongside my collaborative work, I have focused on my own audio engineering projects as part of my personal music brand, 1 A.M.. Over the course of more than 26 personal studio projects, I have developed an understanding of sound design, mixing, and production. I’ve utilized industry-standard software like Cubase Pro, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live to craft my music, always applying the unique features of each platform to create professional-grade sound. My passion for both music and audio engineering continues to evolve, motivating me to expand my knowledge and refine my craft with each new project.
Music Video Production
With over 10 years of experience in music video production, I have had the privilege of working with local artists. My roles have included storyboard creator, camera operator, director, field recorder, and video editor. I’ve also produced and edited music videos for my own musical projects.I’ve worked on small to medium-sized productions with teams and am proficient in video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere. Some of my projects have included technical elements like acting skits and color grading.

Sound Design
This compilation reel showcases my journey and growth during my time at Full Sail University. It highlights the deliverables I produced, where I applied sound design techniques, Foley work, and sound engineering skills. Using tools such as the Zoom H5 recorder and various synthesizers, I transformed raw audio sources into dynamic, immersive sounds suitable for integration into a gaming environment. This process reflects not only my technical proficiency but also my creative ingenuity in crafting realistic and engaging auditory experiences. The reel demonstrates my ability to bring a game world to life through the art of sound.
