Zazy on SoundBetter

I made my first recordings in age of 7. But since these times, I have experiences. Unfortunatelly I don't have that cassette.

Every dB does matter.
It is very simple credo, which motivates me to respect the client's listeners way of listening music.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
