If there is one thing the world should know about me, it’s that I love making records — The rush of hearing a song come together in the first moments of inspiration, the musical energy captured when laying a track down and everyone’s playing together, the steady build and experimentation of overdubs, the refining process of editing and comping, the courage of creating and committing to a mix, and the joy (plus relief) of hearing the whole thing evolve into a record.  It’s like catching lightning in a bottle.

My studio is called Antebellum Recording—a cooperative space I started with my friends. It’s not fancy, but everyone loves the vibe, and we’ve got the place stuffed with an amazing collection of instruments and gear, especially guitars; we’ve got a couple Taylor’s, some Fender’s, and a 1973 Alvarez that just knocks my socks off. There’s a couple cool sounding spaces to record drums (a lively room and a dry booth), and I really like the sound of the control room for mixing and booth for overdubs. Give me a shout sometime, I’d love to show u the studio.
