Endorse Keith Mohr
In March 2020 I began collaborating with Keith to produce some songs, I have been working on. I am strictly a songwriter focusing on lyrics and basic song structure. Keith has been an awesome producer to work with. Keith has a natural ability of being able to take my raw song writing and vision for the song and bring it to life. I enjoy working when you can have a 50/50 partnership with your ideas but be instructed that this is not your best option. Keith is very response to questions and easy to communicate with. Overall Keith has taken my songs to a level I never thought possible.
