In Their Own Words

"In today's world, where social media provides endless tutorials on music production, what sets an artist apart is their ability to convey their unique identity and creative vision through their music rather than simply relying on tools and techniques to create generic tracks."

"The true value of tools and techniques lies in their purpose, timing, and communication. These three elements are shaped by one's personal identity and vision, which is what I strive to instill in my students through my teaching."
