How did you become interested in music originally?

My parents were huge jazz and funk collectors. Naturally, I gravitated toward collecting vinyl and then began to want to make music. I started buying keyboards in high school. The rest is history...

Do you remember the moment when you decided that producing music was going to become your life?

Once I started collecting keyboards, I wanted to make a record. It wasn't until I worked at Tower Records, I became serious about shopping a demo. I then signed a house project that I did with Josh Wink called ECulture. Then I stopped school.

How would you describe your approach to writing music?

It depends on how I'm feeling that day. The cool thing is that there are options. I may start with piano or a sample. Samples set a certain vibe that makes for a great starting point. Then you can take the sample out and it completely flips the track. Other times, I start with grooves…drum and bass then build on that. But 'sounds' are what get me going. The right sound can mean a great song.

Your music spans a number of genres, how did your style progress over the years?

I love music, period. So as I continue to grow and learn, I want to venture into all areas of sound. Rock is definitely my next move.

In making “Re-Members Only”, you collaborated with a variety of musicians, from De La Soul to the late Grover Washington, Jr. What was that experience like?

Wow, working with heroes is always a trip. At first I was geeked out, but then I realized they are there because they respect what I do. Then I was able relax and get into some serious business. Working with Grover was amazing. Rest in Peace. Alison Moyet was my all time favorite to work with. She is beautiful.

How did your visual approach to making records affect your work on the “Miami Vice” soundtrack?

As a kid I always loved movies. Vice was my shit. Every Friday, I was on it. The music/visual combo was an art form I always wanted to pursue. So, when asked to underscore scenes, it came so naturally. Again, its all about the sound and vibe.

What projects are you working on now?

I just finished 2 Rolex commercials. Amazing. Starting an album called Digital Angels, which are collaborations with unknown singers I met on Myspace. Writing a lot preparing for the next Sister Gertrude Morgan project, in which I plan to collaborate with the Preservation Hall Jazz Ensemble of New Orleans.

Have any iZotope products found their way into your studio?

Hell yeah. I have all the plug-ins. Trash is my favorite! I put it on drums and sounds. I experiment a lot. Ozone is an amazing mastering tool. I always used the Waves L1, but this is hot. I also learned a lot with the instant online instructions. Just click the question mark, there are lots of tutorials and goodies.
