    Jaoa did a phenomenal job on my song. His guitar tracks were on-point. You could feel the excitement in his performance. His communication and timely delivery are also a testament to his professionalism. I can't wait to mix and release this song now. I would definitely consider working with him again.

    João is amazing. Everything he did was perfect; monster tone on our blues-rock track (Joe Bonamassa style); one of the best guitars players I have heard. I get the feeling he can play anything--he is very musical. We give our highest recommendation. Thank you. E
