    Fede is out of this world, just one crazy amazing talented bass king. We have been doing a few songs together, in different music styles and each time he killed it. To top it off, he's great and super easy to chat with. Thanks Fede !

    Working with Federico was great! He was super responsive and turned around three great bass tracks within a day of reaching out. I’ll definitely be working with him again!

    I'm so blessed to have found Federico! I used him on a previous project and he was amazing. More impressive is how quick the turnaround is. - Once again, he was brilliant! He saved me in a pinch! His tracks are amazing. His bass tracks add depth, color and great quality to a song!
