This guy is killing it each time, no mediocre stuff. Super talented and dedicated to the craft, on top of that he can go from rap/trap and rnb to house just like that!

I have been collaborating with Stefan since 2017 and I have only words of praise for his talent, precision, ideas and vision of how the final product should sound.
If you need quality sound design and arrangement you are at the right place.
I highly recommend my man MYSTEE.

I met Stefan through Up-Work and it is always a pleasure to work with him.
I am grateful for his professionalism and efficiency in realizing every idea I came up with.
As a musician, it’s not always easy to find common ground with another person when it comes to online collaboration but with Mystee I’ve never had a hard time getting to my goal.
I look forward to every next project!

Interview with Mystee

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: That would be the production of an EP for a female rap artist (MladaBeba), I've discovered in Serbia. I'm proud because it sounds like it should, we did not compromise our music in order to gain recognition.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital, because it's faster and easier - most of the people couldn't even tell a difference.

A: They want their music brought to the next level. My answer is let's do it.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: High-end sonic aesthetics, strong musicianship in terms of groove, harmonies and catchy melodies.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I'm huge geek for sonic aesthetics and I always tried to bring the full audio spectrum to the table.
Q: What's your typical work process?
