    John’s superb songs really get my creative juices flowing. Our latest completion was immense fun to do. John always points me in the right direction and is there for small navigational corrections when needed!

    John is a great songwriter! I love his arrangements and songs. We had a blast on this last song. I cannot wait to vocal produce the next one he does.

    John is clear, helpful and enthusiastic about what he wants as a client while also being open to artistic interpretation and flexible to the changes that occur along the path of a creative project. It's a real pleasure to work with him again, he is a true professional.

    John was very open for me to come up with ideas and background vocals for his song. It was a blast to work on and went very smoothly. I would totally work with John again. Thank you.

    A beautifully crafted prelude to another of this amazing songsmith’s great pieces. John invited me to build a production over his flowing electric piano instrumental which was a pleasure to do

    John was a real pleasure to work with and a gifted songwriter. I produced and sang on a song of his and it's full of clever, witty wordplay and interesting harmonic shifts and melodies. John was also very clear and direct about his vision for the track and supportive of my production choices which made the whole process really enjoyable. I'd love to work with him again.

    A new client for me, and a good one. Really nice music, well-recorded and with a clear brief but open to suggestions, good technical standard and good communication. A pleasure to work with

    Yet more great songwriting from John with a touching lyric and soaring melody.
    Great fun bolstering the production, mixing, and creating a suitably epic string arrangement to add to the emotion of another modern day classic.

    Really enjoyed putting the finishing touches to this brilliant song. As always, clear direction from John and with freedom to ‘do my thing’. Another great commission!

    A delightful short from the prolific pen of John Malone, fun and light-hearted, the story of the ‘relationships’ between the writer and his chord creations! Just wonderful, and another one I can’t stop listening to!

    Another great recording session with John!
    When John contacts me I know I can count on a high quality composition that's been recorded well, files that are ready to go, and friendly communications. You're always welcome!
