Strumming excellence into every session.

I am available to record guitars in your projects. I have a good collection of instruments and microphones that cover almost every need, I can help you with a good range of genres as well. I always work to serve the song and to make clients happy, I mean 100% happy! I make sure to keep my communications fast and precise, my clients are never alone. Once the project it's approved I provide curated stems, aligned and ready-to-mix. Typical turnaround time 48 hours, whenever it's possible I deliver the same day.
