Marcel is great guy to work with. He is very nice, professional and responds quickly to any messages. I hired him to do an arrangement for a song a was working on, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He knocked it out of the park with this great idea he came up for the intro and all the sections for song came out great. Highly recommended!

Marcel produced the full instrumental backing for my song, "Barely There." He approached the project with thoughtfulness, passion, and efficiency, and offered some great suggestions for the song. He’s a very talented producer and musician, and was wonderful to work with. I’m so grateful for all the work and time he put into my song, and it turned out even better than I could’ve imagined. :)
