San Bruno, CA

I’m a producer, engineer, and technologist dedicated to building tools that empower artists. Classically trained at the Tchaikovsky School of Music, I earned an MD in Music Theory and Conducting before touring and recording across Europe in the late ’80s. After moving to the U.S., I joined Digidesign/AVID and contributed to landmark products that helped earn the team a Technical Grammy Award and an Oscar for Pro Tools. My work has spanned experimental, electronic, and underground scenes, collaborating with artists such as Psychic TV, Anna Homler, and Thomas Dimuzio, while learning from top engineers including Andrew Scheps, Tony Maserati, and Michael Romanowski. Following five years at Antares advancing vocal processing and Auto‑Tune, I now serve as CEO of FSK Audio, focused on creating expressive, artist‑centered audio tools for modern music makers.
