I work very closly with my producer Jason, with access to his professional studio. You will find Serivices that we offer together on my profile.

Lauryn made the process simple and stress free. Knocked the song for the project out of the park that I was needing a lead vocal for. She has such a great tone & voice, & Lauryn's communication made my first time using soundbetter a great one, and definitely a platform I will be further using now for future projects. Lauryn will be definitely saved to my favourites for other potential projects, thats for sure. Highly recommend! Thanks again, Lauryn!
