I can say this kid has a ton of talent and deserves everything he's received. I've been in the studio with him and it's always hard work and making what people want to here. I suggest you make time to work with him as well. He has great character and is a great producer/engineer.

Let me get the bad out of the way first
Phoenix is a money getter
He'll bargain with you on prices but once he feels used up and taken advantage of he'll switch to an alligator impulsive and dangerous.
On the bright side Phoenix is the best Engineer I've experienced in my music career.
Tremendously dedicated to crafting an artists music. 💯
