Endorse Rod Castro- check_circleVerified
Rod was simply amazing. He nailed it first time and delivered exactly what I was looking for and I would strongly recommend working with Rod and I look forward to working with him again. Really easy to communicate with and my whole experience was great with Rod.
Rod is an incredible player. Every session we have had together has been exactly how a guitar session should go. Professional, willing to go the extra mile, but most importantly he has the unique ability to elevate your music to levels that you could only dream of. Best in the biz!!!
