Timur Yusef on SoundBetter

Timur’s career so far has been wide ranging stylistically, but always anchored to the same core concepts for over 12+ years of professional experience playing live, in the recording studio or even in the rehearsal room: get the best possible performance of the ideal part for the music with an emphasis on groove, sound and musical sensibility.
