    Simply beautiful is the two words I have to use to describe the eloquence of Fede's contribution to the new song we are getting ready to release. Graceful with his lines he is a musician who totally knows the instruments of his craft. He is knowledgeable and his " buy-in" to the project he is working on makes it feel like he is familiar with your song. Well done !!!!!!! We will be using Fede again soon.

    Fererico was a delight to work with - he gave me two options of bass for my song (both of which were immaculate!) and in only a few hours of sending the stems over! He did a wonderful job, was lovely to chat with and I couldn't be happier with the results. Will absolutely be back in the future :-)
