I will provide you ideas and solutions to end up with an original high quality result! Just take some time to listen to my examples and feel free to get in touch!

WHAT I DO:

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Commitment to deliver over the expectations as the best way to build a healthy network and a successful background.

This will assure both of us that I understand your needs to clarify in what way you'll get the best of my abilities to receive your song ready to the world!

HOW DO I WORK:
I deliver most of the tracks in 1 week or less, depending also on the response time when I need your approval for some creative stages of work. I also offer unlimited revisions and the best response time possible into business day.

Ariel did the soundtrack for my short-film Egos and his contribution was beyond expectations. He's talented, pro-active and kind. His ideas just made the film grow and gain other dimensions. Amazing musician, professional and person.
