    It was a privilege to work with Shihori on her song! She's a total pro - an amazing songwriter with massive vocal skills - the kind of artist any producer would love to work with. She came with a clear vision of what she wanted for her song, and communicated her ideas perfectly. It was a pleasure working with her!

    Shihori is a true artist who is highly educated and experienced in her craft. Working with her was a fulfilling process and what we were able to create together is something that is stand out. It was my honor mixing and mastering her record and I can't wait to see its release. I hope this is the start of a wonderful musical friendship.
