    This was my first time working with Danny and honestly couldn't ask for a better person to collaborate with. Gave me awesome tracks to work with off the get, but also was willing to make a few changes to result in a better final product. Hope we can work together again soon!

    Danny X had a great product and vision for it and it was fun and a pleasure for me to help get it where he saw it. Everyone should work with him because it's not often you come across the professionalism that he showcased.
