Process, gear, and the thinking behind the records.
Gatekeeping a $1 album behind a $40 sync license never felt right. Here's the math on trusting the listener instead.
One warm Rhodes, a brushed kit, and a vocal hook left just dry enough. The whole mood is restraint and a lot of patience.
A quick framework for picking tempo, mood, and where to let the track breathe under a voiceover.
SONIQ is a one-person studio spanning a lot of rooms — synthwave, soul, country, Latin, hip-hop, rock and metal. I write, produce, and master every release, then sell it directly to the creators who use it.
The pitch is simple: fair prices, honest licensing, and music made to sit under your work without fighting it. If a track helps you ship something you're proud of, it did its job.
