I'm specialized in every genre from Pop, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Disco, Hip-Hop, Rock, etc... Check my YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EioxMDJ1FAY

My work process is listening to the track received and based on the client's references and my inspirations and skills I look for the suited sounds through my instruments and microphones positions.
