2023 was a transformative and productive year for me. I am still living in Los Angeles full-time and working at Larrabee Studios in North Hollywood. I am a full-time assistant engineer at Larrabee and have had the opportunity to begin taking on sessions as the lead recording engineer. It is certainly true that no day feels like work when you’re doing something you love. I now work regularly with many artists that I was only a fan of just a few years ago. This summer I was requested to work with an artist during their 3 month lockout in one of our studios while they were working on their upcoming album. Sadly it did cause me to cancel my usual summer trip home as well as miss this year's MVYouth party, but it was an incredible experience and easily the highlight of my year. This year was my first full year in Los Angeles without visiting home, and as amazing as it was I am hoping to not have to go another full year without visiting MV. The Vineyard really is a unique place and I was missing it by the time I made the trip home this past Christmas. It’s the perfect place to relax and reset from the hectic lifestyle I’ve become accustomed to in LA. As I’m writing this update in the employee lounge of Larrabee I am incredibly excited for what 2024 is going to bring and hope to have the opportunity to give you all a much more vivid update of my life at the MVYouth party this summer. I am in the process of working on many amazing projects and hope to be able to share them with you this time next year as they get finished and released by the artists.
