Honored to be featured in the Columbia College Chronicle for a story on Jamdek, my recording studio and creative home for the past years.
This interview dives into what inspired the space, the artists we’ve been lucky to collaborate with, and the vision of keeping audio experimentation alive in Chicago.
Huge thanks to the Chronicle team for telling the story, and to everyone who’s supported the studio along the way—it really means a lot.

Where to begin with this one…
I was just talking to you only a few days before you had passed about mastering your album and now the world feels pretty hallow without you around. This studio and myself would not be anywhere near what it is today had you not been apart of it all. Ryan and I were close classmates in college..truly a large reason why this studio even exists to this day . He would regularly engineer out of Jamdek- always in the best mood , excited to show me mixes , asking for critiques.
My heart goes out to all of his family, friends and the entire music community.
Love you - hope you’re driving the sweetest RV in the sky. ❤️❤️❤️
