About Me

Music has been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was the kid who always had a pair of headphones on, listening to everything from Electronic Dance Music and Dubstep that filled my phone to the Reggae music that filled my home. Over time, my interest shifted from simply listening to music to understanding how it was created. I became fascinated by the sounds themselves, how they were designed, mixed, and used to create emotion and energy. Films like Transformers, Tron, and Interstellar left a lasting impression on me because of how the sound and visuals worked together to create a sense of scale and wonder. Before long, I found myself thinking about how sounds were made during everyday moments, whether I was folding clothes, taking a shower, or listening to a new release late at night.

While attending the University of Miami, I joined a DJ club where I connected with others who shared my passion for electronic music. The club introduced me to a community of people who shared the same enthusiasm for music and creativity, making audio feel less like a hobby and more like something I could build a future around. Through DJing, I started to learn how to produce music. I also had the opportunities to have conversations with industry professionals along with special seminars hosted by the DJ club. Through those experiences, I became increasingly interested in the technical side of audio. By the time I graduated, I felt as though I had left something behind. A year later, I realized what it was: the sense of purpose and creativity I had found through music and sound. That's when I decided to pursue audio engineering and sound design more seriously.

 

Today, I continue developing my skills in audio production, sound design, and music creation. I enjoy the challenge of turning ideas into engaging sonic experiences, whether that's through original music, sound effects, or creative audio projects. For me, audio engineering is a field where technical problem-solving and creativity meet, and that's what keeps me coming back every day. Admittedly, this path is tough, but no one said it would be easy. I like that.
