Leo was extremely easy to work with. He was very clear on what he wanted, sent through comprehensive backing tracks and even notation, which was very helpful. He also paid very promptly. I would happily recommend him.

Leonids was clear about his expectations and the direction / emotion he wanted out of the song performance. He provided an awesome track and was very communicative, and kind, during all of our interchanges. I would, without a doubt, work with him again on future songs!
