I am also an ASCAP Television Music Award winner for my vocal work on dozens of television shows. 4 years ago I started a company called G.O.A.T. Fuel, and have scaled it to $10 million annually. Let's build!

Everything is negotiable, I'm just here to make your song sound AMAZING and help take you to the next level.

On a side note, I also do consulting. So if you need someone to help you on your music and business journey, I am literally the best and most qualified person to have on your side. For G.O.A.T. Fuel, I am Co-Founder, Chief Brand Officer and Creative Director, so I handle all Branding, Marketing, Design and Product Innovation.

On the music business side, I've written for a lot of big artists and have been a vocalist on a lot of TV shows. For example, I wrote and sang the theme song for Kevin Hart's show Real Husbands of Hollywood. I also wrote and came up with the AKA for J.Lo which became the title track for her 10th solo album. Sometimes it's not just about writing or singing a song, it's about the entire ecosystem, strategy and planning that goes with it. I am here to help make you successful. Let's work!

I hired Tempo to sing a song I wrote & produced.

Unfortunately I didn't have the best experience with him. He's is a talented vocalist and provided cool harmonies. That being said:

- There's a whole verse missing
- The material is unusable due to 'room' & noises on the recording

But what stings the most; he promised a revision after the second payment. Now we are two months and several promises further and still nothing. Wouldn't recommend him for this service.

Tempo not only has a great artist name but IS also a very professional one.
Delivered high quality work on the time predicted. Will recommend to colleagues and surely "use" him again on future work.

When Tempo recommended a complete rewrite of my song idea I was hesitant because I was really feeling what I had composed. Yet, realizing the benefit of being open-minded and trying different things, I allowed Tempo to do his thing. He did a great job!! The rewrite definitely was a much better fit for the places where I want to pitch it.

Tempo did an incredible job with the vocals on my tracks. He brought the songs to life and I especially loved his harmonies. He also took the time to share valuable perspectives to develop my own skills as singer and songwriter. I can’t thank him enough. Highly recommend him for whatever your needs are related to your art. He can do it all.

my first track together with "tempo" dates back to 2 years ago, i was very satisfied with the work done, so 4 months ago i decided to propose a new job at "tempo". When I received the demo, I wasn't very convinced, he told me to work on it a bit and if in the future there had been something to change he would have done it easily. unfortunately it did not go like that, I asked politely to recant the song, with the same words and the same melody with a small variation after trying to modify anyt
