    David is such a joy to work with. His songwriting skills are top-par and has a variety of influences to pull from. He both patiently and with good pace helped me write, track, and mix two of my most favorite songs so far and I’m confident we’ll continue to make that number higher. He over-delivers, and the vibe is very warm, comforting, while simultaneously productive.

    David was such a huge help with mixing my tracks last month - quickly got any revisions knocked out and they sound stellar for the price. Highly recommend this up and coming mix engineer! 🔥

    David produced a full length album for me, 13 songs. And yet, every single song you can hear his sublime touch, his natural feel for how to take a song and make it just *that* much better. I can’t overstate the efficacy of his musical touch and how it transforms even the strongest of songs into something truly Herculean. His patience is legendary, he worked through any revision I asked for every single song, and with a lightning quick turnaround, even while balancing other clients and his own life. And all for an unbeatable price. Can’t recommend enough, everyone needs to work with David 🙏

    Fantastic vocal performance and lyrical ability. All it took was a short conversation about what I was looking for and David jumped on the idea and perfected it! David stacks up with layers and high quality recordings you'd expect from a professional artist and engineer. You rock dude!
