I help rock and metal artists stop spinning their wheels and actually finish and release their music.
The work:
I've landed tracks on the radio, collaborated with Fender, Slate Digital, Waves, and more — and worked with artists and bands across the US, UK, Europe, and beyond.
The teaching:
10M+ views. 1,000+ students. Official course creator for Slate Digital.
What students have done:
→ 250,000 Spotify streams on a first release
→ Paid brand deal from his music
→ Now producing for other bands
🎙️ Every week I send out Music Minute — one real lesson from the studio or the coaching chair. No fluff, no filler. Just what actually works.

One of my favorite videos I’ve made in a while. If you’ve been over looking this one, don’t 😂

Well... this is a first.
191 people registered for my free drum masterclass tomorrow. My Zoom held 100. 😐
So I upgraded. Paying extra for a free event. That's the business plan in zoom, apparently. 🤣
Tomorrow, 1pm EST, live: why your metal drums sound like a demo, and the 3 things pros do differently. One snare, fixed in real time. Same plugin. Same kit. Same me.
I opened 150 more spots. And that's it save your seat here before they're gone again 😂

Metal drums that sound like a demo. Here's what it cost me 👇
The first real band that ever paid me said one thing: "make the drums big."
I sent the mix. Confident. They said "that's not really what we meant."
Compression. Saturation. Parallel bus. EQ. Nothing fixed it.
Then I changed ONE thing, and the band loved it...

The hardest part of being a music producer is maintaining extreme attention to detail without getting stuck in perfectionism.

Someone left a nasty comment on one of my videos calling my music trash. So I clicked over to their YouTube page, and "their music" was a bunch of AI-generated slop.
In my 15 years of experience, almost no one ahead of you is trash-talking you.
You WILL get hate on your music... and that's okay. Keep making for the people who will be moved by your art and ignore the rest

I recently saw a video of a “successful music producer” claim his success was based on YouTube short and Instagram video views… and not happy clients or songs made.
Take that with a grain of salt when you learn anything online. Even from me.
If you don’t like the music I make, find someone else who you do enjoy. And do that with everyone.

I watched my mentor blow a bands mind in one conversation. Here's how it went. 👇
Mentor: When do you want this Album out by?
Band: We don't really have a deadline. We just want it good.
Mentor: *laughs* So you probably want it out before you die... right?
Band: *Laughs* of course
Mentor: Ok then... so when do you plan on dying?
Band: 😐
Here's what he taught me: If you don't have a REAL deadline on your music that you fight for, you don't care enough about it.
