About ZO (Extended)
I’ve always been drawn to the mysteries of science. From the moment I unwrapped my first "Kid's Science Kit," I was hooked on exploring how the world works. My fascination deepened as I grew older, leading me to study premed in undergrad, where I spent countless hours delving into biology, chemistry, and physics. But while I was busy dissecting the human body and analyzing chemical reactions, something unexpected happened—I discovered the intricate science behind the music we hear every day.That revelation was a game-changer. Suddenly, music wasn’t just a fun pastime; it became a new frontier of discovery. I realized that every beat, every melody, and every harmony was rooted in scientific principles. And just like that, my passion for science found a new home in the world of audio engineering and production.
My official journey as an audio engineer and producer began in 2018, but the seeds were planted long before that. From the moment I started tinkering with sound, I knew I was onto something special. I began by interning at studios, soaking up knowledge like a sponge, and freelancing on the side to build my skills. Every project, every session was an opportunity to learn and grow, and I took full advantage of it. By 2020, I had built enough experience and reputation to open my own studio, Book Zos, where I could finally bring my vision to life.Book Zos quickly became more than just a studio—it became a legendary creative hub where science and art collided. I poured my heart into every session, working tirelessly to develop my skills and help the artists I worked with do the same. But as the studio grew, I found myself increasingly pulled away from the music I loved, caught up in the demands of running the business. It became clear that something had to change.In the end, I made the difficult decision to close Book Zos, at least for now. But that same work ethic, dedication, and passion for music continue to drive me in my new roles as a resident engineer and freelancer. While the studio doors may be closed, the creativity and energy that fueled Book Zos live on in every project I take on.Clients often recognize me for my technical expertise and creativity, but what truly sets me apart is my dedication to the craft.
I approach every project with the intensity and precision of a scientist on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery. It’s not just about making music; it’s about uncovering the hidden potential in every track, drawing out the essence of each artist’s vision, and bringing it to life in a way that feels authentic and powerful.As an audio engineer, producer, and project manager hailing from the New York-New Jersey area, I bring a unique blend of scientific rigor and artistic flair to the table. I understand the importance of both structure and spontaneity, and I know how to strike the perfect balance between the two. My goal is simple: to help you create music that not only sounds great but also resonates on a deeper level.Whether you’re an emerging artist looking to find your voice or an established musician seeking to push the boundaries of your sound, I’m here to help you realize your creative vision.
I’m the Einstein to your Picasso, the mad scientist who’s ready to dive deep into the lab and experiment until we create something truly extraordinary. Together, we’ll craft a sound that’s not just good—it’s groundbreaking.
This isn’t just a job for me; it’s a calling. Music is where my love for science meets my passion for creativity, and I can’t wait to share that with you.
