I had written a song that needed production and since I don't have much knowledge in that field, I asked for Walter's help and he kindly accepted my request. He was very helpful and creative in the process. He carefully listened to all of my ideas and helped "bring them to life", while adding his own color which really brought me out of my comfort zone as a musician and I'm very grateful for! I was lucky to have been able to work with Walter and would definitely continue to do so!
