    Kushal enjoyed being immersed in the project from the very beginning, and that is why he took part in the mixing of my EP. We talked a lot about how I wanted to sound, he listened all the time, and finally, he helped me to build the vision of my music.

    Kushal is super accessible and kind, he is definitely a Deep Soul.

    I wanted a 'vintage' vibe to my album. Kushal managed to introduce a movement into my track and made it 3D. Would definitely come back more for analogue mixing.
    He also gave me a pet discount :)
    Highly recommended!

    Another tape mix with Kushal. My vocals sound smooth, and the orchestra sounds huge. Wanted a 'Nina Simone' sound, and got it well :)
    Thank you!

    Last song on the album called for a 'Retro futuristic' vibe. Kushal used different compressors for different sections of the song. My songs now tell a story!
    Will be working with him again!

    I waited 4 months for Kushal to finish building his gear that he promised would make my productions bigger, wider, and deeper! Glad I waited. Will be coming back for more :)
    Thank you!

    During this production, Kushal has provided a new and interesting viewpoint for my song. He showed me multiple options during the production and made me a part of the process, which I believe, is crucial when you are making music in your particular way. Also, he finds a way to resonate with the song, to be part of the message, that makes things easier when the song is not straightforward. Kushal is a creative and experienced musician and an incredible person. Thank you Kushal.

    Kushal goes out of the box all the time, he is very enthusiastic about creating new and original music. He is awake and listens in order to raise a song to a fair stage. He plays piano incredibly well. I would love to keep producing music with him and his team. Thank you, Kushal.
