I do hard hitting Rock!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: References! I try to understand what they listen to, what music moves them. Sometimes, if it's not the same music that moves me, I'll advice to look for someone that would be in the same page. If music doesn't come form within doesn't work! Sounds cheesy but it's not! I don't think any professional can do a great job on a song that is not in his/her native "musical language".
