After moving to Canada in 2015, I started my own band 2 years ago together with my hubby.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I ask my clients as many questions as possible, to get all the ideas and suggestions for that specific work and I take notes of everything. Then I start to create the song based on those notes and record it. Once I’m satisfied with the results, I will send it to my client for approval. One revision is included in the price, but if others are necessary we can negotiate it. For me, the most important thing is that my clients are completely satisfied with our partnership.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you make this song sound like X or Y song? - Yes, I definitely can. Can you sing like X or Y singer? - I know how to modify my vocals to sound very close to her voice, but I would also give these vocals my own personality and I am pretty sure the song will sound even better than what you expected.
