When you reach out to someone about a collab, you’re not just asking for creativity.

You’re asking for:
• their time
• their name / brand
• their audience
• their trust

That’s why the approach matters.
A thoughtful message includes context:
• what the project is
• what stage it’s in
• and who’s already involved

That gives the other person a clear picture of what they’re being invited into, both creatively and practically.

It’s also important to be transparent about collaborators from the start. Team size affects more than just workflow—it can affect credit, ownership, and how splits are handled if the track is released. More people changes the structure, not just the sound.

For the same reason, adding someone to a project later on is best handled as a conversation, not an assumption. Bringing in a new collaborator can change how splits are divided, how rights are shared, and how the release is organized. Asking first ensures everyone is comfortable with those changes before moving forward.

Most collaboration issues don’t come from bad intentions—just unclear expectations.
Clear communication early on leads to smoother collaborations, fewer misunderstandings, and better outcomes for everyone involved.

Please share this so everyone can start winning together!

I just found out this I’ve been featured on ’s Best of Lofi Hip Hop 2025 compilation. This compilation holds 59 tracks from 83 artists worldwide, and I’m humbled to be featured on 7 of those tracks.

A huge thank you to
music for your trust in me, your generosity, friendship and talent! I’m honoured to have been a part of your projects this year.

And of course and for having given me such an amazing opportunity this year, not only as a jazz trumpeter, but as a music producer, by giving me the chance to release a full medieval Lofi album under my alias , also featured on this incredible compilation.

Thank you for an unreal 2025. Really excited for 2026!!

Trumpet lessons shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.
Every student has different musical interests and goals. While fundamentals matter for everyone, practice works best when it’s connected to the music you actually want to play.
I help students build confidence and solid playing through practice that aligns with their interests, so the work feels musical and purposeful.
