Hugo Orton on SoundBetter

Hey there! I am Hugo, an experienced music producer and have over a decade of experience on the guitar, at a young age It was clear that my passion was for music creation, and after many years that passion has compounded into skills that I can provide for your next song!

My primary service I provide is my song-services, from my years producing on Ableton, I offer custom instrumentals, with unlimited revisions, mixing, mastering and finally vocal mixing for once you have recorded your song! This puts the weight of producing off of you the artist so that you can focus fully on the creative aspect of song-writing and singing/rapping. I primarily focus on Pop, RnB and Hip Hop but from my experience from over a decade of guitar, I have grown to love other genres such as Blues, Jazz and even Classical.

My secondary service is Session Guitar. The guitar is what sparked my interest and deep passion for music, since I've been playing almost everyday single day from a young age, I have total control over the neck, strings and my fingers, what ever you need on guitar, I can guarantee you I can provide this service for you.
