Every time I sit down to write, I have a notebook open on one side and a DAW session running on the other. That split-screen habit pretty much sums up how my brain works — one half tracking patterns and data, the other chasing the feeling a chord progression can unlock.

Where Analysis Meets the Studio

I spend a lot of time with indie artists and recording setups — not just reading about them, but actually plugging in, pressing record, and figuring out what works. That hands-on practice keeps my writing honest. When I explain a concept, it's because I've wrestled with it myself, made the mistakes, and found the cleaner path through.

My goal is to make the insights I dig up genuinely useful — whether you're tracking your first bedroom demo or refining a release strategy you've run a dozen times before.
