It’s been great to work with him. Super fast and super effective. He got my mix to sounding from nothing to epic 🙌🏼 Always asking if the master needed anything to sound better and taking into consideration my preferences when tweaking the sound. A must try indeed

Il suo lavoro è fantastico, sa dove aiutarti con la sua creatività ed ha creato un Remix di una OST in stile anime, superbo lavoro, vi consiglio vivamente di lavorare con lui.

È un bravo lavoratore.
by Michael Kent
Nick wrote the theme music for my horror podcast Toxic Schlock, and he was fantastic to work with. After giving him my basic concept vision of what I had in mind, he quickly sent me several rough drafts of themes to see if any of them were in the mold of what I had in mind. In less than a week, he had created a dynamic and creative theme for my show that greatly surpassed my expectations. He was communicative, creative, and very easy to work with. I couldn't recommend a musical collaborator more.
