check_circleVerifiedMerty took on a genuinely challenging project — Hip Hop vocals over a 150 BPM Rave-Techno track — and delivered results that completely blew me away.
His workflow was seamless from the start, sending demos for approval before committing to the final recording, and he remained fully receptive to feedback when I requested changes to the second verse.
Professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with.
Five stars all the way!

check_circleVerifiedWorking with Merty, is like working with magic. He has this rare gift — like a true magician with words — where he completely tunes in to what you’re doing and helps bring out the heart of your music. He’s both deeply connected and highly skilled, which means he not only understands the emotion behind your song but also knows exactly how to shape, structure, and polish it so it flows beautifully.
He’s incredibly fast, yet nothing ever feels rushed — he delivers quality with such ease.
