ok so here we are. what you have sent is not a professionally recorded lead and background vocal
that was are agreement. i think you need to fulfill your obligation and make this right. and now you are asking for additional money ? not sure how to respond to that. i have used this service with other
singers and the results were perfect. this is far from usable. so now what. can you please send me what we agreed on? i did my part in funding and providing a professional sound track. BAD - check_circleVerified (Client)
What else can I say about my brother, Christopher. Not only does he have the greatest name in the world, he continues to challenge me musically and sonically. Believe it or not this has to be our ninth or tenth project together and it keeps getting better and better-er! We've reached a place in our working relationship where if something's off, he'll let me know and vice versa. I only pray for those relationships! Always great building with you, man!

Christopher gives me a great song to revamp and revitalize EVERY TIME!! I do not have an opportunity to produce Gospel often, but when I do I always hope and pray that it is the style similar to his. He always (3x) gives me a great song, great concepts with a great message. I am blessed to have worked on his projects and become his producer over the past year. Grateful for the opportunity, thanks so much bro. Ready for the next one.

Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Missy and Timbaland. Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams. These are a few Artist-Producer relationships that have real chemistry.
