I'm not a Grammy multi platinum engineer yet, but who knows, maybe my sound will suit you.
As I wrote above, I don't have much experience, I've been doing sound engineering for about 3 years and only now I'm starting to take money for my work. I like to work with sound, and I love sound in general, I don't limit myself to a couple of genres. I like different music and I'm instilled to work with different music, it doesn't matter pop rap rock electronics or classics, I'm interested in everything and I'll work on making it sound good. My studio is not very expensive, but it's enough for good mixing. Also I can do mastering, but I wouldn't say that I have the perfect control for this but there is an opportunity.
