I've known Brek for the better part of 20 years, and he has always been a true master of his craft, while still seeking to better himself in every element of his musicianship. His musical versatility and depth is second to none, both as a performer and composer/writer. I've been fortunate to play alongside him as his drummer in many different musical settings, and his playing and feel is soulful and creative. He's a one of a kind player, and serves the song perfectly, no matter the genre. As an original artist, he has a strong emotional sensitivity and ability to connect with the listener.

I have been an avid listener of brek's for quite some time. His growth and dedication to mastering all aspects of his craft are astounding. From live shows, to recording, He is always pushing to be better. Having said this, his passion and talent for all aspects of music are not to be understated. He can put his style into whatever project he works on, and is very conscientious of the listener and how each piece fits together, as well as anyone he is collaborating with. He is a great student, able to listen and adjust to the needs of those he works with, but is also a great teacher.

Brek impressed me with his emotional musicality. His tones & gear are top notch, with different genres of style and sounds. His rhythm chops I compared to Niles Rodgers & his solos are very tasteful . He also is a great vocalist and producer, so he understands the emotion of a client .

I’ve worked with Brek on 10+ live shows and he’s truly one of those guitar players you can completely trust on stage or in the studio. His musical feel and taste are incredible. He always serves the song first and somehow knows exactly what to play without overcomplicating anything. His tone is dialed, his parts are intentional, and he brings so much emotional sensitivity to every performance.

Beyond his talent, he’s extremely professional, adaptable, and easy to work with. Any artist would be lucky to have him on their track or live set. Highly recommend.

Interview with Brek Milo

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I’m most proud of projects where the song felt emotionally elevated without being overproduced. My role was guitarist and musical collaborator—helping shape parts that supported the vocal and enhanced the overall feel while keeping the track authentic.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I’m currently working on remote guitar sessions, vocal projects, and original music, balancing client work with ongoing creative releases.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I believe in matching the right collaborator to the project. If a client needs something outside my lane, I’m always happy to recommend other skilled professionals.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both. Analog for tone and feel, digital for speed and flexibility. The song decides.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Clear communication, fast turnaround, musical honesty, and parts that serve the song—not my ego.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Helping a song click—that moment when everything suddenly feels right.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: “Can you make this feel better without changing the song?” Yes—that’s exactly the goal.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it’s just about recording notes. The real value is in decision-making, restraint, and feel.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What references do you like for this song? What emotion should this part support? Where will this sit in the mix? Any hard deadlines or formatting needs?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Hire someone who asks questions, respects your song, and communicates clearly. Fast delivery means nothing if the part doesn’t serve the track.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A great acoustic guitar A versatile electric guitar A reliable interface One high-quality microphone Headphones I trust The rest is musicianship.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I’ve been a full-time working musician for 2 decades, performing live, recording, writing, and collaborating across genres. Remote work is a natural extension of years spent serving songs and artists professionally.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Emotional, tasteful, groove-aware, and intentional. I aim for parts that feel inevitable, not flashy.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I’d love to work with artists who value songcraft and emotional delivery—artists who want music to feel human, not over-polished. Those collaborations tend to produce the most timeless work.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If a part doesn’t make the vocal feel better, it probably doesn’t belong. Always mix and arrange around the vocal, not on top of it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, R&B, singer-songwriter, indie, soul, alternative, and live-band-influenced productions. I’m especially comfortable in music that blends emotion with groove.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is taste—knowing how to support a song with the right part, tone, and performance while staying out of the way of the vocal.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring musical judgment. I’m focused on what serves the song—not showing off. Whether it’s a simple guitar part, a texture, or performance guidance, my goal is to elevate the track emotionally and commercially.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Understand the song’s emotion, reference, and goal Clarify expectations (style, references, delivery format) Record multiple tasteful options, not just one take Deliver organized, labeled files quickly Make revisions efficiently if needed Communication and speed matter as much as sound.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I run a hybrid home studio built for high-quality remote work: professional microphones, clean analog preamps and compression, and a modern DAW environment. My setup is optimized for fast turnaround, clean signal path, and musical performances rather than over-processed takes.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I’m inspired by artists and producers who prioritize emotion, groove, and restraint—people who know when not to play. Musicians who blend strong musical identity with commercial awareness inspire me most, especially those who bridge live musicianship with modern production
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I most commonly provide guitar recording and arrangement for songs that need feel, taste, and musicality—acoustic, electric, ambient, rhythmic, or textural parts that support the song rather than clutter it. I also work on vocals and songwriting support when clients want musical feedback, structure, or performance direction.
