Tom is an amazing talent and the project we completed leaned heavily on his masterful production. My roll was a breeze and the song really sounds amazing. Really looking forward to more inspiring tracks with him.

Trying to get lyrics turned in to a song can be tricky business. But SA has done a great job on my lyrics and has done several projects for me that have turned out really well.
I will use them again for sure.

Thomas with SA Central is the kind of Soundbetter collaborator that everyone wants to work with. He has a true talent for producing, is very kind and easy going, and is the most professional communicator I have worked with. This allowed for a very smooth and easy process.
