    Rafael is a great musician and professional. I contacted him just asking for a recording, and I found a musician with a lot of creativity. In addition to the recording I requested, we talked about and evaluated his suggestions. The result was incredible.
    I totally recommend working with Rafael for his commitment and professionalism.

    Rafael is a very professional and trustworthy musician. We have collaborated a few times and I love how responsible he is on every project. He composes creative guitar tracks and is very familiar with all the technical skills in editing, mixing, and recording.
