A: That they leave with a smile and if not we will work until they are smiling.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: What separates you from the rest. My answer is that I am a passionate artist myself, I stay up to date on musical trends whilst keeping an authentic and original touch. I take my time and am aware of the details. The little things make up the big things!

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: We were always moved by the music as children, and started to take action in creating our own as young teens. Nurnoloco played 5 instruments and started producing on Fl Studio in 9th grade. Soon after he opened his first Soundbetter profile and began turning his hobby into a career managing artists, and starting an international record label. Tony recorded his first song at the age of 15 ten years ago. After getting his audio engineering certification in 2016 things became more serious as he opened his first recording studio in Switzerland in 2018. Now we both work in our studio Touch Productions that we have built together. On a daily basis we are fulfilling our clients dreams.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Clean, unexpected, passionate, brave.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I believe Kanye West is unapologetically being himself and it shines thru his music. I admire the idea of just doing what feels right. He has a positive message and shares it thru his music, as do I. If you are a Kanye fan, you are a fan of yourself. This is why I think him and I would make a masterpiece together.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Let the moment and your feelings guide you. Allow yourself to enter the unknown and step out of your comfort zone.
