Teacher

I am an engineer and teacher at Be Sound Music in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I specialize in hip-hop/rap and R&B but I am well versed in other genres. I have over 15 years of experience in audio engineering and have produced many albums and singles. My music is heard in clubs in the Milwaukee area and I have connected with many great artists on social media who purchase my beats.

Along with my experience engineering and producing, I also teach both of these arts. Lessons are geared toward each individual person's experience and goals. I have taught and mentored several youth in the greater Milwaukee area in these skills.

I also do consulting on the process of releasing singles, EPs, and albums on digital media, market places, and social media. I help my clients to get set up on various platforms and show them how to monetize their music online through hits and advertisements.
