    Steve made a really great job on my song ! He also brought his own ideas to the project which proved to be a real added value. He's patient and responds promplty to requests. I definitely recommend Steve for your projects !

    I've worked with Steve on a number of projects! I can't say enough good things! He is a fantastic player, engineer, photographer, cinematographer... he is all things creative and killer at them, but an even better person! I'd work with Steve any day of the week, and am extremely happy with everything he's worked on!

  29. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
