I am ready to write a song for you, topline your EDM track, co-write with you, and create the song you've been longing to make.

    Nellie is tenacious and will work to meet the needs of the song. That and her quick ability to come up with emotional lyrics makes her one of the best songwriters on the platform.

She has a wonderful voice and is very timely and specific in her feedback which is very helpful for me as a producer/mix engineer to deliver a product the client is excited about.
