check_circleVerifiedVery talented producer and mixer! Worked very efficiently and was very timely!

Martin is very talented and I was looking for someone with his approach to my music. As I've asked him, he's put some of his experience into my production and finished it with a beautiful mix. Any changes I suggested he's made without hesitation to make me happy. Very positive experience :)

Excellent service: After listening to other songs Martin mixed, it became irrefutably clear to me that he was the right person to mix my song. I'm elated I followed that lead because he delivered excellently--a fantastic mix that all who have listened to the song so far have kept on repeat.
check_circleVerifiedMartin has been so patient with me on this project because I was unable to pay and record as punctually as I normally would. But I am a repeat collaborator for a reason—his work is outstanding and the quality he delivers is one any artist at any level can count on. Make that connection with him and see where it takes you!

Martin Hollis completely transformed my song into something extraordinary. I've written many songs, but the song Martin worked on was important to me and I wouldn't choose anyone else. His musical ear is quite gifted - he knows what will work, and you can absolutely trust him to make your music bigger than what you could imagine. He will be my go-to producer from now on. Amazing producer!

Martin really allows your vocals and melody to shine, above everything else in his production approach. He's tasteful in the instrument choice, really has a clear direction sonically, and is willing to be flexible in altering any modifications you may want to change for the mix. He's a professional, he knows what he's doing and I love that!
Thank you, Martin! I'm so pleased with the entire process--what a joy! - check_circleVerified
