Abriel is a fantastic musician. She is creative, musical & professional. She has a wonderful sound and is a talented arranger of horn parts. Abriel surprised us with unexpected tracks that were better than what we had hoped for. Very cool.

check_circleVerifiedWhat a treat working w/ Abriel! Just a terrific job turning trumpet solo for this song. Sent two versions and both were/are great! Thank you Abriel!
check_circleVerifiedAbriel’s flugelhorn performance was brilliant! Her playing was superb and really brought the magic to our project that it needed to be truly special. Her improvisational phrasing and note choices were masterful, and her use of dynamic highs and lows together with exquisite tension and expression set up a conversation in the song that was irresistibly delicious. She provided everything on time and was gracious in her responses. I strongly recommend her for your most demanding projects.
