Hey there, I'm Melvin Darrell! I produce R&B and Alt-Pop music and run a YouTube channel that shares insights and tips to simplify the music creation process.

Originally a professional accountant, my background honed my skills in organization, research, and project management, which I now apply to music production and content creation. Eight years ago, I transitioned to music production, freelanced at Rec Philly, and supported a 1000-member community with production, recording, mixing, live sound, and educational workshops.

Currently, I work with artists around the world, blending my organizational skills with my passion for music to help them achieve their goals.

So, if you're an artist I would love to help you with one of your projects.
