check_circleVerifiedWas such a pleasure working with Michael again! I entrusted him with a project that's very dear to me and he really brought the vision to life. He's so talented at using small subtleties to bring the best listening experience out of the track itself which was important to me for this specific song. Amazing talent and super easy to work with. Looking forward to working with him on future projects.

My experience working with Michael was so amazingly seamless. He is extremely talented, easily grasps the vision with little explanation, and he works very quickly. Communication with him was superb not only because he kept me in the loop through his process and availability but also because he executed my revision requests with complete accuracy and very promptly. Not once did I feel like a burden! His work is HIGH quality. Period. I will definitely be working with him again. Thanks, Michael!
