Cesar Benzoni on SoundBetter

I'm a musician (mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar), producer and engineer based in Galway City, Ireland.

I can produce your music, or I can just mix it or maybe record some mandolin, electric or acoustic guitar.
I also do vocal arrangement.
In this video you can see me playing and doing some vocals.
