check_circleVerified (Client)Can't say enough good things about Arklo! Amazing musician and incredible person as well. Excited to do more songs together! 100 stars
check_circleVerified (Client)Working with Arklo was great! He provided an amazing instrumental track for me to write to and we made a killer song. We later agreed on a buy out and he provided the paperwork for this. 100% recommend!
check_circleVerified (Client)Arklo was an amazing producer to work with. His productions are beautiful and he gets straight to the point with clear and concise notes. He set me up for success because he communicated well and we were able to finish the song right on time. I look forward to working with him again :)
check_circleVerified (Client)Amazing track. Very fun to write to.. Cant wait to work with him again! xo!
I’ve collabed with Rony “Arklo” Loarca for over a decade now, and this guy somehow manages to make his sound better every time. He’s the most updated guy I know, so I usually go to him first for advice on using different DAWs, plugins, VSTs, recording and mastering. He’s always on top of communication and feedback, so he’s easy to work with. He has great ideas and is extremely knowledgeable so don’t hesitate to ask him anything. Would totally recommend!!
