Enric Gómez on SoundBetter

Professional and compromised 1st of all. I feel the music as the artisanal. Every little piece is essential in a song. I can help you find your way and your personality in every composition. If you just need a session bassist or guitarist, and you need soul and tempo, I am yours. All Styles

Backing vocals arranger

I can be with you in the total process of a song recording. From the composition till the final mix.

The rhythm is my obsession. Good tempo and soul have to live together, and this is just possible if you play it properly, not by a quantizer machine.

Multiinstrumentist especialiced in bass and guitar.

I recorded three albums by my name (working in the fourth) with no virtual instruments, all played by myself. I love to found the hidden sounds of my surrounding.

20 years of experience composing music, directing bands, playing in the stages and recording for the television.
