A: Timbaland. Dr. Dre, Danjahandz.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I think it was Consuelo Costin. Because it was complicated project to mix with 100 tracks in it and when i finally finished mixing and "mastering" client sent track to Ted Jensen to master the whole album - Consuelo liked my version of mastering better and Ted said some good words about that track too.
