In 2011 after graduating from the Institute of Audio Research, I released my first full length album Outlet with the rock group Electric Saturday and later on licensed the song from the album ?Holding You? to Hill Top Records. In 2012-2013, I went on to produce, engineer, work as a session musician and songwriter with multiple bands and artists involved in Third Road Music and Crash Dummies Productions. I contributed my services through many different roles whether it be producing a musical ensemble while adding the necessary parts to pull a song together, engineering vocals, instruments and sounds, providing a drum rhythm for a pop track, bass for a rock track or guitar on a hip hop track. In 2013 after honing my craft in audio and music production, I transitioned into film and joined SawGrass Productions, Inc. to work on an independent documentary titled ?This Is My Long Island? as a co-producer, sound editor and mixer. It went on to win Best Documentary Feature at the 2014 New York Los Angeles International Film Festival (NYLAIFF). In 2015, I continued to work on another film project to raise awareness for children?s cancer.
