WHAT ARTISTS SAY
JUZE
I’m producing music for over 15 years and working with Adrian was nothing but delightful. I’m not an easy person to work with as I have very specific ideas. Nevertheless Adrian always delivered exactly what I had in mind… no, even better. With Adrian my songs are simply next level.
LEA KEY
Adrian was very easy to work with. He always listens carefully to what I wanted to create in the song. Through his creativity and perfectionism, he clearly pushed beyond what I had in mind. I would highly recommend working with him because it's fun, professional and smooth..
HENRIX HERE
Partnering with Adrian was a great decision for my music — he is a great guy, a great musician and a real multi-talent. His musical and technical choices elevated my song to a level I had dreamed of.

Kjetil Homme – From Viral Sketch to High-Energy Track
Norwegian comedian and rapper Kjetil Homme turned his viral car repair shop parody into a song about the sketch itself, going viral on TikTok and the challenges that come along with fame.
Collaborating with fellow comedian Ahmed Mjau, he wanted humor paired with real-talk at the forefront while keeping the momentum within in the music. I shaped the production in a way that amplified the humor while ensuring the song had the energy and punch it needed. By blending new-school hip-hop with EDM elements, I designed a dynamic soundscape that kept the track engaging and electrifying.
The result? A song that captured both the fun and the frenzy of Kjetil’s rise to going viral, bringing his signature comedic flair into the world of music.
MIXING & MASTERING
Four Artists, Four Genres, One Vision: Mixing & Mastering with Precision
MUSIC IN THE MAKING – WORKING WITH ARTISTS
Over the years, I've worked with diverse artists across genres, shaping ideas into songs and refining their sound.
Here are some highlights.
PRODUCING
Björk -- A Dance of Nature and Sound
Björk Lommers
Björk is more than a singer-songwriter and performing artist from Amsterdam—she is a storyteller who weaves together rhythm, melody, and movement to connect people. Her music pulses with life, carrying elements of Pop, Funk, and Soul, but always with an organic warmth that makes each track feel like a natural force.
For our collaboration she provided three demos. For “Be Together” and “You Don’t Know”, I refined and expanded the arrangements while preserving their essence. However, “Only We Could Speak” presented a unique challenge. Here, I started entirely from the acapella, constructing a new musical world around Björk’s voice. This approach gave me full creative freedom—every beat, chord, and texture was built to complement her vocal delivery.
The result? Music that moves both body and soul, staying true to Björk’s vision while elevating it to new heights.
Jorden Dekkers – Blending Organic Sound with Deep Reflection
Jorden Dekkers
I had the pleasue to collaborate with Jorden Dekkers, a musician and songwriter from Harderwijk, Netherlands, whose band Doubland is all about raw, thought-provoking music. Jorden loves pushing his instruments to find new, unexpected sounds, and his songwriting invites the listener to interpret his messages in their own way.
For “Converse” and “See the Sea”, Jorden wanted an organic, live-band feel, which guided my approach to production. In addition to these exclusive productions, High Beats and I crafted a Future Bass remix of “See the Sea”, giving the track a new sonic identity while preserving its emotional depth.
The result? A collection of tracks that balance organic warmth and modern energy, staying true to Jorden’s artistic essence while expanding his sound’s reach.
Esayah – Turning Life into Music
Esayah
Esayah, a singer-songwriter from Amsterdam, transforms life experiences into soulful, jazz-infused music. Her journey from poetry to songwriting is driven by authenticity and deep storytelling.
When she shared acapella demos of four songs, her vision was clear: rich grooves, warmth, and emotion. My role was to shape these raw ideas into fully realized tracks—enhancing, not overpowering, her unique sound. Through carefully crafted arrangements and live instrumentation, we brought her melodies to life while staying true to her artistic essence.
The result? Music that moves, connects, and resonates—built on trust, passion, and the belief that great songs start with genuine expression.
SONGWRITING
Juze – From Strings to Stories, Crafting Songs Together
Juze
Juze, the German singer-songwriter I had previously collaborated with on Just Okay, sought expert input for four new songs. He wanted support with top-line melodies, harmonies, lyrics, and guitar recordings to shape the tracks.
Bringing in my intuition, harmonic expertise, and guitar skills, I crafted melodies that set the emotional tone while complementing his artistic vision. With a strong blend of composition and performance, we built a rich musical foundation.
The result? Four songs that fuse Juze’s artistry with dynamic songwriting and expressive guitar work.

Sound Meets Style: A Beat-Driven Lookbook
Dreamolog, the German streetwear brand founded by Onur Baskaya, is all about bold oversized fits and a strong visual identity. When preparing for a new collection drop, Onur sought a soundtrack for the accompanying video lookbook that matched the brand’s edgy aesthetic.
He envisioned an uptempo, beat-heavy trap sound that would elevate the visuals and reinforce Dreamolog’s identity. Taking that vision, I composed a track that combined hard-hitting beats, atmospheric textures, and a driving rhythm, aligning perfectly with the collection’s energy.
The result? A seamless fusion of music and fashion, bringing Dreamolog’s vision to life.

Mixing and mastering are more than just technical steps—they’re about bringing an artist’s vision to life. I had the opportunity to work with four distinct artists—Marc Goosen, Gwen and the Good Thing, La Raya, and Ben McPeak—each from a completely different genre.
My goal? To shape a tailored sound that accentuates their unique artistic identity. Leveraging my intuition, fine hearing, and deep understanding of acoustics, I crafted mixes that captured the essence of each track while ensuring they were polished and radio-ready.
The result? Four songs, four sonic worlds—each refined to optimize its potential.
Henrix Here – Crafting Sound with Intention
Henrix Here
Henrix Here, a Norwegian artist, producer, and sound technician from Oslo, approached me while working on his first album. As a meticulous creator, he approaches music with both a technical and artistic mindset, carefully shaping each sound to reflect his idea. He sought out collaborators who help to elevate his music without compromising its essence.
For his track Easy, my role was to optimize the arrangement, enrich the instrumentation with several layers of keys and by adding an electric guitar to the chorus, and ultimately handle vocal production, mixing, and mastering. His demo had a strong identity, but I was able to contribute with refinement and depth. Every decision—from additional layers to vocal nuances—was made to enhance his vision while preserving authenticity.
The result? A track that remains true to Henrik’s artistry while delivering the richness and clarity needed to stand out. A collaboration built on mutual respect for both sound and storytelling.

Crafting Lo-Fi
LiGe, a recognized Lo-Fi artist based in Germany and I, aka Lo Cal, first connected in Amsterdam, where he appreciated my thorough musical understanding and expertise on electric guitar and bass. Wanting to build a track from the ground up, he invited me to collaborate at his place.
Together, we shaped the song from scratch, with my guitar layers forming the foundation. By blending textures and tones, we created a rich, atmospheric sound that embodies the warmth and depth of Lo-Fi music.
From an Intimate Demo to an Electrifying EDM Production
Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter LEA KEY recorded a raw demo with vocals and piano, later evolving it with electronic beats. She brought me in to develop the track into the EDM sound she envisioned. I, aka Chirashi crafted a production that amplified her voice's emotional depth while delivering a powerful drop driven by a massive lead synthesizer.
The result? A track that seamlessly blends heartfelt songwriting with the energy and impact of electronic music.
CREATING TOGETHER - THE ART OF COLLABORATION
Music thrives on shared creativity. I’ve collaborated with artists across genres, blending skills and ideas to craft something truly unique. Here are some of those projects.
From Student to Stage
Juze, a German singer-songwriter, became an unexpected collaborator when he reached out after I completed his course. My instrumental final project caught his attention, and he proposed turning it into a full-fledged pop song—one we would co-create and perform together.
What started as a student project evolved into an artistic dialogue, blending my production with his songwriting and voice. The result was more than just a track; it was a defining moment in my journey, proving that the best collaborations arise from mutual trust and shared vision.
From Latin Roots to Alternative R&B Fusion
jongjobim
While working in a music studio, I met Adriano Alvarado (aka jongjobim), a Venezuelan artist and producer whose musicality and creative energy instantly resonated with me. We decided to collaborate, initially crafting an acoustic guitar-driven track inspired by Latin American rhythms. Together, we wrote and performed the piece, shaping its organic essence. However, I later reimagined the song through an electronic lens, transforming it into an Alternative R&B production. This fusion of styles—rooted in Adriano's Latin heritage yet propelled by contemporary sound design—gave the track a distinct identity, blending tradition with modern innovation.

REMIXES (UNPUBLISHED)
Reimagining Sound: Transforming Hits into Something New
I love taking something familiar and flipping it on its head - remixing is my way of reimagining music. For demonstration purposes only, I selected four tracks from four distinctive artists, each transformed into something entirely new. With an acapella as my anchor, I shift the energy through re-harmonization, fresh instrumentation, and bold genre twists. From changing the beat to layering powerful EDM foundations and weaving in audio effects, I push a song's mood and emotion into uncharted territory.
The result? A reinvention that surprises, excites, and proves how far creativity can take a track.
