I am a professional Recording and Mixing Engineer with over a decade of experience in the Music Industry. I am also a Senior Lecturer at the SAE Institute of Amsterdam, and I currently work for the Dolby Creator Lab as an Associate Educator.
Were you an audiophile before you became an audio professional? What led to this career choice?I was an audiophile before I had a driving license… I grew up with an extreme fascination for sound and music production. After recording my first album as an artist at the age of 15, I got hooked up with the studio workflow and the engineering side of things.
Do you still enjoy listening to music for leisure these days?
Yes, I do...
What, I do, I just have to put a clock on it, in order to avoid listening fatigue after long days of work.
What are some of your favorite works that inspired you when you were an aspiring audio engineer?Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon”, Radiohead’s “Ok Computer and Kid A”, to name a few.
What are some of your own works that you’re most proud of?RZA’s “A Ballet Through Mud” album.
All audio professionals use headphones at one point or another in their workflow. How do you use headphones?
I use it mostly for Quality Control checks and when working on an Immersive Mix without having the possibility to access a Dolby Atmos Studio with speakers.
Have Hifiman headphones informed your production decisions or the way you listen/mix/master?Absolutely, yes. They (Arya Organic and HE400se) are precise, revealing, and lightweight, making them the perfect companion when travelling.
What are some of the exciting upcoming works you would like to share with us?More work with the Wu-Tang Clan family...
