Music Producer, Guitarist and Multi-Instrumentalist

May 2010 - Present • 16 yrs 4 mos

Music producer, guitarist, arranger and multi-instrumentalist specializing in authentic 80s synthpop and new wave, synthwave and retrowave, as well as rock, Japanese-inspired rock, Visual Kei and J-Pop. My work covers the entire creative and technical production process, from developing an initial idea or demo to a finished production. This includes arrangement, sound design, recording, editing, electric guitars, piano, keyboards and synthesizers, as well as mixing and mastering. As a guitarist and keyboard player, I can create and record original instrumental parts specifically for each project, rather than relying only on pre-made loops or standard solutions. My background as a musician strongly influences the way I produce: I pay particular attention to harmony, arrangement, dynamics, performance, sound selection and the emotional impact of the song. I have produced, arranged and performed on officially released music, working on my own projects as well as collaborations with other artists. My experience ranges from synth-driven productions inspired by the sound and production techniques of the 1980s to guitar-oriented rock productions combining live instruments with synthesizers and electronic elements. I work primarily in Logic Pro, combining real instruments, professional virtual instruments and modern production tools according to the needs of each project. My goal is always to understand the artist's vision and enhance the identity of the song, delivering a polished and distinctive production without losing what makes the original idea unique.
