Attitude
When creating music, my clients are my collaborators; every decision is well-informed and discussed for maximum satisfaction and efficiency.

USP
I bring a musical background highly informed by sound studies and theory to create work that speaks directly to audiences via affective signifiers rather than relying on old tropes and false divisions and assumptions.

Reason Why
Based on these two sentences above, I believe I have a lot to offer potential employers as a helpful collaborator who is looking to create great sound that also works well on every level.
