"I could not afford to record in commercial studios nor I could I afford to pay pro musician fees and so I realized early on that I would have to learn both sides of the studio to include the basics of musicianship; rythym melody intonation harmony percussion and the technical aspects of recording in a digital environment. I learned a lot taking tutorials from literally teenagers and industry professionals on youtube and educational materials offered by the top musical instruments and software manufactuers ."
