I started playing piano when I was 5 years old and have been composing music ever since. I specialize in calming meditation music and music for sleeping, but I can also produce other styles like chill hop or deep house. My music can be tuned to specific frequencies like 432 Hz or 528 Hz. I can add binaural beats or isochronic tones that are in harmony with the music. I can add normal or subliminal voice-overs to the music if you provide the audio files. Noise reduction and repairing audio is not a problem.

I’m a professional voice-over artist with a clear, confident, and versatile delivery suited for YouTube narration, eLearning, commercials, and corporate content. My style is natural and engaging, with strong pacing and tone control that keeps listeners attentive without sounding forced or overdone. I’ve worked across a wide range of projects, including long-form narration, educational content, branded videos, and online media. I’m comfortable adapting to different tones, from calm and informative to more energetic and promotional, depending on the needs of the project. Alongside voice-over, I have a background in music production and audio, which allows me to deliver clean, well-balanced recordings with a strong ear for detail. I’m reliable, easy to work with, and focused on delivering high-quality audio with quick turnaround times.
