Every beat maker, myself included, has their 911 - Bogo has become that for me. Once again, he makes the idea a realization - what I think he actualizes - perfectly. Beautiful work. Thank you!

Fantastic is the word! My name is JUM3E, from UMD INTERNATIONAL Ltd. and I’m a Singer/Dancer from the UK and I have been working with Bogo on my latest projects, and when I say that this guy gets music… he GETS IT. The audio quality is super clean, the production is of a super high standard and he has met every deadline we have set. I’m super grateful to be working with him on this next project and would recommend him to everyone and anyone who values professionalism, creativity, punctuality and sincerity.
