Meet the Hidden Creek Crew

I’ve had a deep passion for music for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest influences were the Beatles, Billy Joel, Tom Petty, and Toto. I formed my first band (The Speaseleenies) when I was 12, and have spent much of my life drumming, singing, songwriting and playing guitar.

My interest in multitrack recording started one fateful day in the mid 1980s when I discovered I could connect my boombox to one channel of my dad’s cassette deck and insert an adapted microphone into the other. Suddenly anything was possible!

In the decades that followed, advancements in technology opened up possibilities for music creation that were inconceivable back in the 80s. I love the tech, and I love deep-diving into all of its complexities. But I also remain old school in the sense that I believe the real ‘magic’ in music comes from singers and musicians, not computers and software. I really believe that my role (and the role of all the studio tech) is to serve the music, and to encourage, support, and advocate for the artists who make it possible..

I’ve adored all things music and performing since childhood, and I have a music degree from Nashville State, where I was involved in as many events and performances as I could be. I love to be a part of any musical project coming together–especially in the studio–and I love everything that goes on behind-the-scenes to make it happen. To me, there’s nothing more fun or fulfilling than being involved in a musical project or event in any capacity.

I’ve always been obsessed with harmonies, and my absolute favorite thing to do is to arrange and perform harmony vocals. I've added harmonies to numerous Hidden Creek artists’ projects, and I'd love to be a part of yours.

The arts are my biggest passion, and to be able to work in music is a dream–especially to work in the family business!
