PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

My main passion in life is the creation of music, and it would be my joy to use that passion to benefit you and your project in any way that I can! My primary field is composition, but I would be happy to record some music as well as assist in either mixing or mastering your work. Please note that I am a devout Christian with strong convictions that will factor into whether or not I decide to work with your project.

Music Composition

In need of some background music to really enhance the atmosphere of your video game? Want to make sure your short film has a solid, memorable score to really tug at your audience’s heartstrings? Does your choir need an arrangement for an upcoming concert? Allow me to oblige! I am very well versed in a variety of musical genres and am experienced with writing music with MuseScore and Ableton Live. Though I am most passionate about making music for video games, I am more than happy to create music for just about any form of media, as well as arrange for live performances.

For original compositions, I charge $75 per minute of music produced. This includes writing, arranging, mixing, and mastering. Prices for ensemble arrangements will vary on a case-by-case basis. I will do up to two revisions before additional charges are incurred.

Session Musician

I am a skilled multi-instrumentalist with a strong sense of musicality who can provide quality recordings for your tracks, with some audio effects and EQing if needed. Vocally, I am a classically-trained baritone with a B.S in Vocal Performance. Instrumentally, I am most proficient in bass guitar and drums, but also have some skills in playing acoustic/electric guitar, keyboard, cajón, and ukulele. I am not necessarily offering my services as a live musician at this time, but will gladly provide some vocal and/or instrumental tracks if my skills fit the occasion!

Pricing will vary depending on instrument, song length, and technical difficulty.

Mixing & Mastering

Though I’ve been performing and composing far longer than I have been producing, I have very quickly gained tons of experience, skills, and understanding in technical aspects of producing music. If you need a skilled set of ears to balance volumes, EQ, compress, and add other audio effects to your music project, or if you have exported sound files of your song(s) that need just a little bit of fine-tuning and clarity to be ready for digital distribution, I would be more than willing to get your music to the place it needs to be! Please note that I will strongly recommend against having me do both the mixing and mastering for your audio – it is considered good practice in the music industry to have different sets of ears for these two disciplines.

For mixing, I charge around $50 per song, and for mastering, I charge $35 per song. Prices may be higher if the song's length exceeds 6 minutes.
