Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I typically like to get a feel for what the person I'm working with is looking for. After gaining that understanding I will work on the song and provide what I think is a good fit. After that, ill send over the file and get some feedback from them to make any major/minor tweaks and changes that are needed.
