check_circleVerifiedIvan is doing a great job! He's super kind, super fast and super committed to the production. He has a beautiful taste for arrangement and sounds that totally changes your demo ideas to a new beautiful production. Get yourselves the Ivan-vibe! :D
Ivan is a true musical wizard! It was pure joy working with him on my debut album, that was released this spring, as well as another project not yet released. Hearing my songs come to life with his arrangements and masterly piano playing, production and mixing was life changing for me! I felt he instinctively knew what the songs wanted to be. He is very easy to work with and a genuinely nice person! With Ivan your music will be in the very best hands (and heart)!
Ivan truly deserves enormous recognition for his talent and professionalism. He’s an absolute joy to work with. An outstanding producer with attention to detail.
I have had the pleasure of working with this super talented guy and I could not recommend him more! 100% knows his stuff and also brings so much positivity to the process. Highly recommend!
Ivan Blomqvist is a producer with a super musical instinct. He is rich of ideas and very good at capturing the potential of the material you bring. In addition to being a skilled pianist and awsome synth wizard, he is a really nice guy, a dream to work with and with his musical flair and technical skills, he lifts the music to new heights.
I have had several sessions with this talented producer and musician and I highly recommend working with him! He always manages to create the sound I want and give life to the ideas that occur in the session. I have a lot of experience with different types of producers but Ivan has a very unique combination of being a professional musician (both theoretically and as a pianist) and a great producer which makes it easy to communicate with him (in addition to being a super nice!) Whatever you want to make, this is your guy!
Hi! I’m my artist name is Spanish ‘Gro and I found Ivan through IG, we worked together for the first time ever in my upcoming single called Molly y Percocet (out 31/08/24), and I loved the experience. Really humble, effective and professional. While working he gives you honest feedback and bring ideas also thinking outside the box, it was a privileged and I’m going back for sure.
Ivan is a very talented and dedicated producer. 100 % recommended!
Super-professional guy who has a deep understanding of music and always delivers mind-blowing productions. Would absolutely recommend!
