I recently discovered I was mentioned on the cover I recently discovered I was mentioned on the cover of my favorite childhood music magazine @electronicmusicianmag right before Covid hit. I can’t believe I never knew about it. I used to read this thing religiously so it’s a huge honor for me. Thank you @amandablackpanda for that major assist!
Here's a few of my favorite music gear buys in 202 Here's a few of my favorite music gear buys in 2022 that have kept me energized in the studio this year. I think it's important to surround yourself with things that inspire you creatively and these have definitely done that in spades for me. Always looking for any recommendations as well. 1. Mid Century Mic - Used and noticeably damaged mid century mic I bought off eBay. Felt the kindred spirit inside with this one. Welcome to the dysfunctional family little buddy. I've mainly been using this as a secondary mic when recording vocals. It gives off this Ramones distortion vibe that can be a nice layer underneath that adds character to any vocal. 2. Sure Wave Spring Reverb - If you're looking for some spring reverb that's got some big harry balls on it, look no more. This pedal sounds great on any guitar. If Big Foot and Stevie Ray Vaughn had a son, this would be it. 3. Roland Drumatix and Bass Line - I got these Roland's just for fun because I'm a 90's kid and it makes me nostalgic. They make for a great pairing combo as well. Full confession, I haven't exactly come up with anything mind blowing on either of them yet but it's fun as hell to mess with.

I didn’t even realize this compilation album cam I didn’t even realize this compilation album came out until yesterday. @kenlewisproducer and I worked on #3 “Ghost”. Love me some @kidcudi
“Lighting Crashes” by LIVE was one of my favor “Lighting Crashes” by LIVE was one of my favorite songs growing up as a kid in the 90’s. I remember always hearing it play in the backseat of my parents car and the intro instantly sucking me in like some haunted lullaby. It’s a song that inspired me to want to play the guitar and start this crazy musical journey I”m on so I’m unbelievably honored to be apart of this new version that @aviraaudio envisioned. It’s been a full circle moment for me and excited to see a new generation of listeners hear it. Special shoutouts to @tannerwilfong @itslenaleon @stephkarten and the vocal guru @kenlewisproducer “Lighting Crashes” out now!
