SKILLS
Creativity! - D-Trait is Mr. Idea.. Literally.

If D-Trait were a restaurant, creativity would be a specialty item, that house special that just isn't the same anywhere else.
Melody - "Great songs are built like homes.. they need a strong foundation that's your baseline. and framing. They need something aesthetically pleasing wrapped around that frame to get peoples attention.. your siding, the shutters, gutters, paint, light fixtures, the things that give the home its look... Those are your melodies"
- D-Trait
Arranging - "Arranging a song is like Tetrus.. but even more fun. There is an art to it, some use science, some use an internal compass that guides them to their destinations.. you always know when it "just feels right" that is what I love most about arranging music.. taking something that "Sounds good" and making it FEEL GOOD!" - D - Trait
