I am proficient with multiple DAWs, including FL Studio, Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. Currently, I produce and mix instrumentals in FL Studio and record and mix vocals in Pro Tools. I am also learning and exploring mastering in Pro Tools, utilizing stock plugins such as the D3 Compressor, 7-Band EQ, Channel Strip, Maxim, and others.

During my MA in Advanced Music Technology, I delved into 3D sound production using Pro Tools Ultimate and plugins like Blue Ripple Sound. I have worked with binaural and ambisonics microphones to record 3D audio and learned about rendering encoders such as Facebook 360 and YouTube for VR experiences.

I have produced over 50 songs, with more than 20 officially released under labels from the USA, Italy, the Netherlands, Canada, and India. My master’s degree emphasized the creative use of natural effects and ambient sounds, significantly enhancing my production skills. For my dissertation, I produced a rap EP using only found sound recordings from the natural environment, which profoundly influenced my production approach.

Since 2015, I have mixed my own music and over 50 other tracks. I have engineered more than 15 official global releases for labels in the USA, the Netherlands, Canada, Italy, and India, as well as content for clients’ YouTube channels and short-format content. I had the privilege of working on a movie production, where I mixed the background score and the title track.

My master’s degree equipped me with diverse skills, including mixing 3D audio for VR using Facebook 360 and the Blue Ripple encoder. I also gained expertise in mixing audio for Dolby Atmos, an essential skill in the music industry.

I have been recording music since 2018, using various DAWs such as FL Studio, Cubase, and Audacity. Since 2023, I have primarily used Pro Tools for recording. My recent master’s course in 2024 included an elective focused on advanced recording techniques. I gained hands-on experience with microphones like the Neumann KU 100 (Dummy Head), Neumann U87, and AKG C414, among others.

My training covered recording in stereo, 5.1, and 7.4.1 formats, as well as Dolby Atmos music. This comprehensive experience has greatly expanded my recording capabilities.

I am a dynamic and bilingual talent manager with over 8 years of extensive experience in the entertainment industry. With a master’s degree in advanced music technology, I have successfully managed my own artist brand, Epic Sensation, since 2015, handling everything from social media branding to client relations and collaborations with record labels across the globe. I have led over 25 official music video projects and more than 15 official music releases, demonstrating my ability to effectively plan, recruit, and manage teams. Additionally, I bring a wealth of experience from my part-time roles I have done in the past year while studying my masters degree in London, where my communication and organizational skills were further honed in high-pressure environments. My proactive approach and diverse skill set make me a valuable asset in the talent management field.

As a video editor, I have honed my skills by editing multiple music videos using a variety of software platforms, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Pinnacle Studio, Windows Movie Maker, and iMovie, as well as mobile apps such as InShot, VN, and KineMaster.

My experience encompasses the entire production process, from scripting the timeline and writing the screenplay to planning the shoot and ensuring the final footage aligns perfectly with the screenplay. This process involves meticulous planning, shooting, and execution, all of which require a strong creative vision to bring the story to life on screen.

In my work, I focus on maintaining the storyline and ensuring that each shot contributes to the narrative flow. My ability to match the screenplay with the shooting footage has been refined through hands-on experience, allowing me to create visually engaging and cohesive music videos. This holistic approach to video production has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively translate a creative concept into a polished final product.
