It's been real pleasure working with José. He seems to pick on the vibe in the music and enhance it through very deliberate and fast process. We had some difficulties in the beginning with my payment but he was extremely patient and maintained his enthusiasm. I cannot recommend him enough!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is the purpose of your song, your music message and your musical references?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Try to find someone who, through conversations, you realize understands your purpose and the message of your music. Art can be very subjective and personal, so it's important to leave this last step of audio production in the hands of someone who can meet your expectations.

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I maximize the potential and message of each song, preparing it for release.

A: I talk to the client to understand what the song's intent is. I analyze the message and feel of the song, research references within the same musical genre and then start working, focusing on balancing my technical analysis, client perspective and audience expectation.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Pay attention not only to how the music is heard, but to how it feels.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Dedication to getting the most out of each song and always doing the best I can in my work.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Dave Grohl, Brian Setzer, Eddie Vedder.
