Why I Made This Course

Think Like a Synth represents more than just a collection of synthesizer lessons—it's my way of passing down the knowledge I've gathered over decades of creating signature sounds for some of the biggest records, films, and ads in history.

When I started out, I was incredibly fortunate to have mentors like Quincy Jones, Giorgio Moroder, Jack Nietzsche, Arthur B. Rubenstein, and my gifted synth teacher Clark Spangler. Learning directly from all of them—at the outset of my career— helped shape me into the artist I am today. They shared everything they knew, and now, I feel compelled to do the same for all of you about synthesizers.

My goal is to distill everything I've learned—every technique, tip and insight—into an affordable, fun, hands-on synth course that anyone can immediately apply to their music. As you progress, you'll develop the unwavering confidence to know what every knob does before you turn it, empowering you to create any sound in your imagination and set your music apart!
