Anthony was extremely easy to work with and blew me away with his first edit of the song! He can make records come to life with his production and truly cares about getting the final result that the artist is after.

Anthony Saunders is one of the most INCREDIBLE singers, songwriters, producers....etc, just multi-talented. His ability to adapt to each and every voice never ceases to amaze me. He's completely intrinsic and mesmerizing. I have worked with several producers in my life, but never have I EVER seen the likes of someone so creative. Everything is done with precision and nothing short of excellent quality. I am always satisfied when I work with someone who is as wonderfully talented as he is. Thank you Anthony for always being top notch in quality, work ethics and creativity!

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: My process is pretty simple. When working on a project I like to ask as many questions as possible to accomplish what my client its looking for.
