Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: I'm especially proud of the last song I worked on as a producer. This song is from an artist that is one of my best friends since very young, but we never were able to work together. After learning how to deal with people and how to listen, I was able to really understand his vision and the song came out amazing.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: A new song for an AMAZING artist, and also a lot of editing for other producers.

A: This song is going to be better than the last one I did, and worse than the next one I'll do.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: I believe even producers get this wrong: this is a creative job with technical parts, not the other way around.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
