check_circleVerifiedWow! Karl is simply Awesome! I jus needed a keyboard groove to go with my track. I asked him just to feel the vibe and roll with it. He went all in and laid grooves as though it was his own single. I mean he is the ultimate professional. I maintain excellent communication with me throughout the process-and at a fair price.
Thank you so much.

Karl is a consistently great client. He's attentive to detail, but very flexible about how I get to deal with his material and supportive about trying different ideas. He's also been very patient with me with some recent technical issues I've had, and I really appreciate continuing to work with him despite that. Very much deserving of his five stars. He also writes great stuff!
