Fumero is my debut album as an artist, created in collaboration with the wonderful vocalist Dage. Blending classic R&B, detailed sound design, and the flamenco-influenced timbres of her home in the Canary Islands, the album reflects the full range of our musical inspirations at the time. I composed, produced, mixed, and mastered the project, performing all drum programming, bass, keys, synths, and guitar.

Recorded at The Bunker Studios, this project brings together four experimental musicians in a series of ethereal, explosive improvisations. I produced the sessions with a focus on capturing the raw nature of their performance, working closely with the band to select the right drum pieces, amplifiers, microphones, and outboard gear to achieve the best possible sonic result. I handled the mixing and mastering as well, guiding the spontaneity of the performances into a fully realized record.

I am a production forward multi-instrumentalist with the ability to develop projects from the ground up—writing, arranging, performing, and designing the sonic palette before mixing and mastering the final release. Adept at blending live instrumentation with modern production techniques to create cohesive, fresh sounding records. Equally comfortable creating the art and understanding the business behind it.

In addition to my artist and production work, I run Waldin Studios, a multi-room recording space in Brooklyn built to support both emerging and established musicians. Engineering hundreds of sessions has strengthened my instinct for capturing performances, choosing the right tools for the moment, and shaping a sonic identity that feels authentic to each artist.

I’m fluent in modern production environments, working daily in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and a wide range of industry-standard plugins, synthesizers, and outboard gear. Whether I’m crafting a track from scratch, expanding an artist’s demo, or refining a live band’s recording, I focus on clarity, intention, and a sound that feels both contemporary and emotionally grounded.

I would love to hear from you!
