Guys..., if you want to create some goosebumps with your track, Joni is the girl.
She has a unique voice, very emotional, with a wide vocal range.
She put her heart and soul on the song during the process.
And it’s so precious for a producer to work with Joni : responsive, able to apply the brief quickly, with high standards of perfection.
I highly recommend her.
