Over the years, he’s taken on major projects, including producing standout records like Selfish Machines by Pierce the Veil and Action! Drama! Suspense by Honor Bright—both of which helped solidify his reputation. He clearly knows what he’s doing in the studio, and artists seem to trust his vision. He’s definitely someone who brings a lot to the table, and his contributions behind the scenes are just as meaningful as his work in front.
