Top professional and friendly, what more can I ask for!!!

    I recommend Marlee Records to everyone. Felt welcomed and we were all able to bounce some new ideas. The studio has everything you need to make top quality recordings, and has plenty of instruments. No pressure or anything to record the track but a nice friendly relaxed atmosphere. David has great ears and understands the ideas and sounds we were going for. He knows how to let a band take the reigns to find their own sound. It was a great experience. Highly recommended.

    I have been working with David and Marlee records for over 12 years. Singing, recording, song-writing, producing. I´d say he is a fantastic team worker, very resourceful, empathic but technical at the same time. Always felt very well accompanied in all the creative processes involved in creating a song. Always listens, encourages and searches for my best sound, even working on projects from different vocal genres and styles. Artisan in the craft, artistic a and passionate in the making. His Music projects show his talent, sensitivity and slow cooking style.
