Since 2008, I’ve worked on thousands of songs as a producer / engineer and helped hundreds of artists finish and release their music. I had studios in Jerusalem, Berlin, Amsterdam, Porto and Stockholm and I’ve seen the music industry go through many changes.
I started teaching music production in 2013 and since then I taught at different colleges such as Catalyst Berlin, Abbey Road Institute, and BIMM while also privately tutoring many producers and artists.
My favorite records were produced with limited technology and are simply a product of great musicians having fun without worrying too much about mistakes. That is why I have a highly minimalist approach and focus mainly on performance.
My goal is to make honest-sounding music that represents the artist and not just the technology. I aim to create something unique that will stand the test of time, but I also believe that the process is as important as the result. That is why I encourage you to have fun and express yourself. The process of music production is about putting our thoughts and feelings in to a fixed form so that we can let go of them and move on. When working in this way, a great sounding song will result naturally.
