  14. A: Well since I don't list prices (because every job is different) most customers ask about prices. I make sure I've understood what they want me to do. Then I estimate how long it will take me to do and we take it from there.

  15. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  16. A: That a producer is someone who sits in couch and says "OK guys, let´s do another take shall we" I´ll do anything you ask for from beats, melody, chords, arrangement, I can even aid with lyrics if needed ;)

  17. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
