He podido trabajar en varios producciones con Nicolas, y es tremendo sonidista y artista. Mucho concepto y visión, siempre en el bien de la canción y resultado final.
Además un excelente trato con el artista/cliente, siempre con paciencia y disposición a cumplir la visión del productor, compositor o músico.
Tremendo!

Nico is the fucking deal!, As an international project, Soul Du Monde needed a skilled producer to fullfil both electronic and rock mixing and production requirements, and he just nailed it!

Nico is a super talented, helpful, and creative mixing and mastering engineer. He has golden ears and is able to make some pretty rough recordings in untreated rooms sound up to par with world-class releases. Also, he is super patient and cares for the artists needs, he will work your song 'till you're absolutely happy with it. He is also a very fast worker and will deliver your mixes on time. Definitely give him a chance! I promise you won't regret it.
