    TJ was fantastic in every way - the service he provided was first class, he was fair and patient - he even helped me learn about the process and how I could do some of the work myself moving forward. He allowed me to provided some additional recordings without charge which is hugely generous in this industry. And most importantly, the final product was brilliant. He will be my go to guy moving forward!

    TJ, please check our message exchange, just one final quick export and inquiry 🙏

    TJ was really great to work with. I was so thankful that he picked up on something major I had missed since my brain was all over the place. Turnaround process was fast, getting edits was easy, and the sound of my song turned out great!

    It was a pleasure working with TJ! He was able to quickly deliver a great sounding mix/master - we didn't even need any additional tweaks etc., the first version he sent was just awesome!! Also the communication with him was great and professional.

    This gifted and talented man knocked it out the park once again. He's professional and the quality of the work is top-shelf. The project took longer than anticipated, but the wait was worth it. He just "gets it". The song sounds amazing. I look forward to more opportunities to work with him.

    Always great collaboration as well. For me as a producer it is important to get the absolute best TOP NOTCH from a mix. TJ can do that with "flying colours" no doubt with his mastering skills, thanks bro!
