A significant project would be Riverlife Church’s upcoming live album Behold – the first full-length album that I am working on – where I’ve been responsible for the live recording equipment and setup, and the post-production editing. I have been involved in the songwriting and pre-production process as a musician and audio engineer, even before the decision to make an album was made. From songwriting retreats to bringing the songs to life in demo recordings, I have enjoyed collaborating with the musicians and songwriters. With this being a live album, it is also much more difficult than a regular studio album. As such, it’s been exciting to push myself to do something that I have not done before and use the experience gained in YST to add tangible value to the production.

One of the most significant people who helped me in this process is Jerry Chua, the mix and mastering engineer for this project. His advice from years of experience in the industry has helped me to avoid potential problems in the live recording setup, be deliberate in every decision, and be the best version of myself that I can be.
