Interview with Pandanero
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I completed an album independently for a small group of people for the bragging right not for the money. I wrote all the lyrics (verses and hooks) and directed the project. I choose who would serve as vocals, producer and engineers.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Personal project; a book of stories.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Not
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog, just seemed like more art went into it. Time consuming and frustrating at times but some times that's the fun part.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will never provide you something that's forced. If you don't like it throw it away and take your money back.

A: I get to be involved with something intimate when working on a project.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Is it more important for you to like the process or the lyrics?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I work very well with songs about life experiences and tough scenarios. Dark and Sad beats.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I've heard this question before. But I would definitely take knife, because you will always need a knife. A parachute, because it can serve a shade and a fishnet. And the Knife will help slice up the fish I catch with the parachute. A metal plate that can serve as an eating plate and cooking plate for the fish I caught with the parachute and cut up with my knife. A Friend. Yes, I know I'm a terrible friend because now they're stuck with me but, who else would I share my time and the fish I caught with my parachute, that I cut up with my knife and cooked on my metal plate with? And remember my friend might be a dog. Finally an engineering book so that I could teach myself to get off of that island if ever I grow tired of catching fish with my parachute that I cut up, cooked on a plate and shared with my Malinois.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been doing this for over a decade. My career will not be forced. My careers can stay as it is, so long as my soul is at peace. I will always enjoy doing this. It's not for the money it's for the passion.
